Sustainable development needs to address road use, by implementing public transport upgrades coincident with developments coming on line, strategic road improvements to accommodate the increased volume of traffic generated and full accountability of the road owner to properly evaluate road safety as part of the planning process. E.g. Barrow Hall Road is unsuitable for 2 way traffic in some areas as cars/vehicles are larger now that 25 years ago yet highways approved the development without carrying out any road safety analysis.
