This book offers a new look at the theory of traffic congestion, in the light of recent reassessments of the extensive surveys in London of traffic plans and speeds and, in particular, of journey speeds by all forms of transport. The issues have been heatedly debated in professional journals and at professional meetings, since the policy conclusions are profound and far-reaching, involving a redirection of transport policy away from road building and towards improvement of public transport systems.
