Daily averages calculated from all traffic counts over the course of the year, for the last 5 years would require extraction and manipulation of data to produce new set of information.  A Scheduled Public Authority is not required to manipulate and create new data sets; therefore, Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies.
