Over 80% of all passenger journeys (including around 10m car trips/day), and nearly all freight movements, use the road network in London London’s strategic roads are on average 40% more densely trafficked than roads in other UK conurbations London has around 20% of the UK congestion, costing London’s economy at least £2bn a year Over 3/4 of this is on the Transport for London and Borough Principal Road Networks. 15% of UK congestion is therefore concentrated on around 1500km of the country’s 400,000km of road network! ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ROAD NETWORK IN LONDON But what exactly is congestion, and how can we make a difference?
