answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Transport (DfT) does not routinely report or assess the miles of road per capita (population) or miles of road per driver for the UK or other countries.</p><br /><p>The European Commission publishes data on road lengths, population and stock of registered passenger cars for the 28 countries in the EU as well as countries in the European Free Trade Association and candidate countries. International data on drivers are not published alongside this. The data can be accessed via the following link: <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/transport/facts-fundings/statistics/doc/2015/pocketbook2015.pdf" target="_blank">http://ec.europa.eu/transport/facts-fundings/statistics/doc/2015/pocketbook2015.pdf</a>.</p><br /><p>These represent the latest data year available for international comparison. However, DFT have published 2014 statistics for road length in Great Britain and 2014 annual passenger cars data for Great Britain and the UK.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 29/10/2015 09:58:57 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <p>As part of the Autumn Statement 2014 and the Roads Investment Strategy for 2015-2020, the ‘A417 Missing Link’ has been included as an improvement scheme for the South West. During this Road Period Highways England (HE) is preparing this scheme ready for delivery in the next Road Period, 2020-2025. The scheme will be designed to remove the congestion and safety problems between Cowley Roundabout and Crickley Hill.</p><br /><p>The scheme is currently nearing the end of the pre-options stage. To date HE has investigated the viability of scheme solutions. This included engaging consultants to review the traffic modelling for the area and to assess the environmental and economic impacts and constraints. The benefits and risks of the various options have been captured and cost estimates for the options prepared. Highways England have been working closely with key stakeholders on the options including Gloucestershire County Council, Cotswold Conservation Board and the Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership. At this stage a number of potential solutions are still under analysis and the next stage is formal options identification.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/10/2015 15:10:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <p>As part of the Government’s Road Investment Strategy, major improvements and renewals are being delivered across the strategic road network to deliver smoother, safer and more reliable journeys for road users. To keep traffic moving through the work sites, speed restrictions are necessary to keep both road workers and road users safe. Highways England meets regularly with its contractors to review current work programmes and accelerate activities where possible so that speed restrictions are not maintained for any longer than is necessary.</p><p><strong></strong></p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 22/10/2015 15:15:17 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
