3 Long Term Strategic Issues for National Roads

To ensure that the future needs of the National Roads network and its customers are met, the context of how the network is used may change over the coming decades and must be understood. The following issues presented in Figure 3.1 have been considered by TII in developing a strategy for National Roads.

The mitigation measures that address these issues are elaborated through TII’s investment priorities in Chapter 5 and commitments in Chapter 6. Appendix B summarises the assessment of alternatives where three main scenarios (‘Do nothing’, ‘Predict and Provide’, and ‘Policy-Led’) were considered during the development of the NR2040 Strategy.
