The future of roads – why the Treasury gets transport investment wrong

If transport is an important contributor to growth then transport investment should be seen as likely to reduce, not increase, the debt to GDP ratio. But a wide range of distortions lead to transport investment being committed to roads to achieve benefits which are illusory, whilst investment which would produce growth (such as rail investment) is neglected.
