Abstract

An assessment has been made of the effects on Oxfordshire of the Department of Transport's National Road Traffic Forecast and of the road improvements that would be involved in providing road capacity to accomodate unrestrained traffic demand. In the longer term the Council's policy, which supports improvements of the major routes to protect the minor roads, is not sustainable. Oxfordshire County Council is pressing the Government to pursue an integrated transport policy that would address traffic demand management as well as road building. Local consultation is also needed on the emerging strategy for the Trans-European Road Network.
