Full Book Analysis. Previous. The Road is a novel of hopelessness and despair, with some dim hope keeping the main characters, a man and his son, alive. Mostly, the characters live dreadfully. They sleep cold under a tarp, they hide from cannibals, they starve for days on end—and yet they keep going. The man and the boy’s desperate march to ...

England’s roads are the bedrock of our transport system – they carry 88% of all passenger miles and 79% of all freight moved. They enable people and goods to travel in a wide variety of different ways from trucks and vans to cars, buses, coaches and motorbikes. They connect the country and provide access to homes, businesses, jobs, shops, education...
The government will shortly make decisions about the Strategic Road Network (SRN) in the third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3), which covers the period 2025 to 2030. This document summarises evidence and proposals provided to the Department for Transport about the current performance of the SRN, future priorities for the next road period and beyond...
This consultation concerns the future of England’s SRN, which is made up of the country’s motorways and most important A-roads. The SRN is managed by National Highways, the government-owned company responsible for managing the network. You can see a map of the SRN in the section of this report about the SRN in England. All other roads in England, k...
Our goals for transport investment
Since 2015, road investment has been on a firmer footing, with financial certainty provided by the 5-year funding cycle and National Highways gaining independence and flexibility as a government-owned company. This approach has borne fruit through the transformational investments we have made, such as the upgrading of the A14 between the A1 and Cambridge, during the first road period (2015 to 2020) and second road period (2020 to 2025). The third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3) is an opportun...
RIS3 strategic objectives
To shape our initial evidence gathering and frame the analytical evidence that will underpin investment and performance outcome decisions later in the RIS3setting process we provisionally identified 6 strategic objectives in Planning Ahead. These drew on research by Transport Focus on road user views and were tested with sub-national transport bodies. They will be reviewed and updated as necessary in the light of our public consultation. Our 6 strategic objectives are:

The story so far
Since the first RIS was published in 2014, and Highways England (now National Highways) took control of the SRN in 2015, considerable progress has been made in improving the SRNand its performance. The first RIS (RIS1) (2015 to 2020) and second RIS (RIS2) (2020 to 2025) funded all National Highways’ costs of operating, maintaining, renewing, and enhancing the SRN. This significant level of funding is improving the network for road users, the communities alongside and the natural, built, and h...
The third road investment strategy
The third RIS (RIS3) will set out government expenditure priorities for the SRN during the third road period (2025 to 2030) and what the programme of investment is expected to mean in terms of outputs; and the funding available to National Highways. It confirms the level of performance across a range of outcomes that we will expect from the SRN and National Highways during that period, also identifying where there is a need to develop improved measures of performance for future road periods....
The RIS3 process
The 4 phases for developing and delivering RIS3are as follows.
The strategic objectives for the SRNwill only be achieved if the network provides an effective and sustainable service for users. The Initial Report is founded on National Highways’ understanding of what its customers want and has been informed by the fresh insight from Transport Focus in its role representing the interests of the full range of use...
The SRN Initial Report and associated documents
National Highways’ Initial Report, published alongside this consultation document, represents a key milestone in the process of devising RIS3. It provides National Highways’ assessment of the current state of the network, users’ needs, potential maintenance and enhancement priorities, and future developmental needs and prospects. This report, drawing on evidence from stakeholders across the country, is at the heart of the evidence base we will use to determine what RIS3should cover, and that...
Summary of the Initial Report
The Initial Report sets out National Highways’ understanding of what its customers want - a safe, reliable network, which supports net zero and better environmental outcomes, is integrated and customer focussed. Having assessed the current state of its network and future trends, the report identifies the challenges that National Highways needs to address in the third road period and uses this insight to set out its plans. The external focus areas that National Highways identify are principall...
Analysis is a complex and important part of how we both gather and utilise evidence as part of the development of RIS3. The department’s analysts are working closely with colleagues in National Highways to ensure there is a sound, well-understood evidence base available for both organisations to draw on through the decision-making process. Alongsid...

But is there for the night a resting-place? A roof for when the slow dark hours begin. May not the darkness hide it from my face?
