Congestion threatens the economic and social wellbeing of the nation. As a society both our population and our car dependency continue to grow. All indications are that unless action is taken congestion will increase. Without action congestion will cost the economy of England and Wales an extra £22bn in time wasted by 2025. This will damage all sectors of the economy and could threaten the reliable delivery of essential goods and services. Worsening congestion will increase the numbers of work-hours lost to traffic and increase stress on drivers and passengers alike.
