Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to increase the level of funding allocated through their Road Investment Strategy to widen any 3-lane highways which have been found to be dangerous.
Safety is the first responsibility for both the Department and Highways England, and one of the key aims Her Majesty’s Government has set for both the Road Investment Strategy 1 and Road Investment Strategy 2. An affordable, deliverable investment plan that meets the Government’s objectives for RIS2 is under development, and final decisions will be announced in 2019.
