RAC Report on Motoring 2016

3.0 The state of our roads

“Looking at what motorists want to see in terms of transport investment, I would say that the things drivers are pushing for are those that the Government isn’t actually prioritising. The expenditure is going on motorways and trunk roads, it’s not going on local roads. I think the Government finds it difficult to treat everyday transport, such as local roads or buses, as a priority – they tend to like big projects.” STEPHEN JOSEPH Chief Executive The Campaign for Better Transport
