CPRE's Position on Roads & Bypasses
Traffic and congestion are on the increase, bringing demand for new roads and bypasses. New roads may bring short-term relief, but the cost to the countryside can be unacceptably high. They rarely solve underlying problems, and new schemes should only be considered as a last resort. CPRE believes there are better solutions to our transport problems. The Government should pursue policies that reduce the need to travel, especially by car, and promote attractive alternative transport solutions.
