road network is still smaller than our rail network, and
that we currently spend only a quarter of the amount
we were spending in the 1970s on new roads.
The lecture was followed by a fascinating Q&A
session chaired by Steve Agg FCILT, Chief Executive, CILT.
During the session, Professor David Quarmby FCILT,
RAC Foundation, asked what the effect would be of the
income in fuel tax reduction caused by the drop in
leisure traffic if road charging were introduced. In
response, David Bayliss argued that the income from
road pricing would be greater than that just displaced.
Jim Coates FCILT, Chairman of the Institute's Road
Capacity & Charging Forum, led the thanks at the end
of the event. He summed up with the thought that, for
all the faults of the current system, 50 years after
their introduction, where would we be without our
motorway network?
