Lessons for the future from recent road projects
Some say new roads are the answer to congestion problems, but we believe that road-building generates traffic, encourages development and scars the landscape. Beyond Transport Infrastructure analyses Highways Agency data and finds the benefits of road-building are often, at best, unproven. Its recommendations promote more informed decision-making on road transport schemes.

- Economic Impact Reports for Road Schemes
- Promoters of road schemes are now ‘required’ to produce an Economic Impact Report for schemes that affect travel to, from or within one or more Regeneration Areas or where regeneration benefits are being claimed. CPRE’s campaign briefing details what Economic Impact Reports are and how you can assess their conclusions to ensure that decisions taken on road schemes are properly justified.
