Congested Transport Systems Levels of congestion on the network have a massive effect on the productivity of logistics. The Productivity Plan warns that “by 2040 the equivalent of more than 100 million working days could be lost to traffic congestion unless action is taken.” This underlines the case for pressing ahead with the road investment plans that have already been made and for future planning in the shape of the second Road Investment Strategy. It is already clear that with the economic upturn, the road network is under renewed strain. HGV traffic is still 12 per cent below its 2007 prerecession peak. The Logistics Report 2016 - FTA
