Congestion costs are calculated for Britain, and shown to slightly exceed the total recurrent highway costs and interest on the capital value.

The BRC also urged Secretary of State for Transport Ruth Kelly to use her powers to manage how the revenues from the charging schemes will be spent as it believes that ministerial oversight is significant in ensuring consistent transport schemes.
