A survey of British adults and road users for the Wolfson Economics Prize on Britain’s road network.
- 80% of British road users say they are very concerned about fixing potholes, and 79% say traffic is getting worse on local and national roads and that action needs to be taken on this, while 67% are concerned by pollution from traffic.
- Only 25% of British road users say the current state of roads is good enough.
- 30% of British road users think current road taxes, such as Vehicle Excise Duty and Fuel Duty, should be increased to pay for improvements and 30% support a new pay per use model where drivers pay per mile of the road used.
- 54% of roads users think a pay-per-use model for roads will be fairer as those that use roads more should pay more.
