 The Curse of the Roads and Traffic Authority
Roads and tracks are as old as civilisation and they have always been about the movement of people and their goods.
Appalled at the RTA's attitude, I wrote to the Minister for Roads (via my local member, Mr John Murray) on 12 September 1996, concerning the grossly inequitable (and negligent) treatment of cyclists by the RTA during the widening of the M4 to six lanes, and pleading for the Minister to overturn the RTA's decision.
Although the RTA has never publicly admitted to the existence of induced traffic, it is real and was the subject of the landmark December 1994 SACTRA (The Standing Advisory Committee on Trunk Road Assessment) report "Trunk Roads and the Generation of Traffic".
