Some statistics
road traffic grew by 73% between 1980 and 2002 and is a major source of air and water pollution, habitat destruction and global warming.
24,000 early deaths a year are attributed to poor air quality in Britain’s cities, and there are road deaths equivalent to two Paddington rail crashed a week.
