Infrastructure Bill [Lords]

"Indeed; we should be seeing a quest for more renewables. One of my concerns about the dash for fracking and for gas is that it can be seen as a substitute for a dash for renewables and other low-carbon technologies, which is where we have to get to. That is …..."

Written Question
Travel
Monday 24th November 2014

Asked by: Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat - Cambridge)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what predictions are made by the National Transport Model from 2015 onwards for the (a) average number of trips and stages made annually per person in England and (b) average length of trips by transport mode in the (i) low, (ii) medium and (iii) high growth scenarios.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

Forecasts of trip by mode and distance were last published by the Department in Road Transport Forecasts 2011 at

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/4243/road-transport-forecasts-2011-results.pdf

The Department has more recently in 2013 produced estimates for the whole of GB using the National Transport Model (NTM). The trip information has not been published but is set out in the tables below.

Notes on the tables:

  • These are for personal trips based on main mode of travel. The NTM does not produce mode information for different stages of the same trip.
  • These forecasts are based on the central forecast in the Road Traffic Forecasts 2013 (see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-transport-forecasts-2013. NTM forecasts of trips by mode for the high and low demand scenarios have not been produced.
  • The NTM Road Traffic Forecasts should not be viewed as what we think will actually happen in the future, or what we want the future to look like. They are based on our understanding of the way people make travel choices, the expected path of the key drivers at the time the forecast is made and assume no change in government policy beyond that already announced.
  • The forecasts do not account for the Departments Cycling Delivery Plan, as this is still in development.
  • The NTM is not the Department’s primary forecasting tool for Rail. Therefore the forecasts may not match with Rail forecasts the Department has published elsewhere.

Written Question
Traffic Lights
Monday 20th October 2014

Asked by: Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat - Cambridge)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department plans to give permission to (a) Transport for London and (b) any local authority to introduce adcance stop lines at temporary traffic lights.

Answered by Robert Goodwill

Advanced Stop Lines are currently permitted for use at permanent signal junctions only. The revisions to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions scheduled for March 2015 will allow their use with temporary traffic lights, but there will be practical issues to consider as many are only in place for a short time.
