Question
What assessment has the Minister made of the impact that the road review outcomes will have on congestion?
Answer
Answered by Deputy Minister for Climate Change
Our approach over the last 70 years to building roads has served to increase congestion. As the roads review points out, increasing road capacity leads to more travel, more traffic and more congestion through induced demand.
