<br /><p>The Road Investment Strategy (RIS) published in December 2014 sets out how
£15.2 billion is being invested between 2015 and 2021 to improve the Strategic Road
Network (SRN) - motorways and major ‘A’ roads in England. The RIS takes into account
a range of possible outcomes for the future, underpinned by broad evidence which the
Department will continue to build on and review. This includes an assessment of the
trends that are likely to have a significant impact on road use and what these trends
mean for traffic volumes on the SRN.</p><br /><p>On the local road network it is for
local highway authorities to make assessments of need and consider improvements.</p>
