Re: new roads don't solve congestion, examples needed

Dear Ian,

I would recommend the Council for the Protection of Rural England's

"Beyond Transport Infrastructure: Lessons for the future from recent 
road projects (Newbury Bypass evaluation)
An analysis of the ‘Five-Years After’ Post-Opening Project Evaluation 
for the A34 Newbury Bypass"

http://www.cpre.org.uk/library/results/roads

All the best,

pippa
