TOMORROW'S WAY. MANAGING ROADS IN FREE SOCIETY

Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

In this report, ways of managing the road network in Great Britian are discussed, given the need to decrease traffic congestion, the anti- social aspects of road transport such as traffic noise and air pollution, and government policies which tend to favour roads over public transport investment. In this report the potential for market style solutions to improve the use of the road network are suggested, as are changes in administration, financing and highway ownership, to increase the productivity of the existing highway system and enable it to develop in response to the demands of road users.
