Mr. Dominic Mullaney:

On national roads, TII based its analysis on survey findings about the road conditions which are carried out annually. On the balance between local and national roads, the decision about which roads are put forward is made by the local authorities. The actual funding is based on per kilometre.

Essentially, it is related to the number of kilometers that each road authority has within its geographic area.
