Roads: Greater London

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether red routes in London will be classified as major roads for the purposes of the new National Road Fund.

Answer: As set out in the Transport Investment Strategy, published in July 2017, the Major Road Network (MRN) will be formed from a middle tier of England’s busiest and most economically important local authority A roads, sitting between England’s Strategic Road Network (SRN) and the local road network. A consultation later this year will include further details regarding what type of regionally and nationally important A roads will be part of the MRN.
