Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of the roll-out of cycle superhighways throughout London on the level of traffic congestion.

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London, and it is for him to consider what, if any, assessment is made of the effects of cycle superhighways on traffic congestion.

The Department for Transport has not made a specific assessment of the effect of cycle superhighways on London’s congestion. Transport for London publishes a number of statistics on journey times and travel trends in its annual report “Travel in London”.
