The Minister faces a major challenge with regard to his roads responsibility and it is unfortunate that, as in many other areas within his remit, there are dinosaurs which have not responded for varying reasons. I do not cast all the blame at their door, though a significant number would, but in terms of the design of our roads I am amazed to discover that we build bridges that will last 120 years while the design criteria are for 2020. In many instances roads are almost at capacity by the time they are constructed, which is a huge waste of scarce national resources. I would like greater vision in making projections to embody in the planning and design of roads the traffic requirements for 2050 or 2075. There is no reason it cannot be done effectively by economists and others. It would mean that some generation would have a transport network and an infrastructure commensurate with its needs. If we continue with the patchwork approach that has been the hallmark of successive Governments and the NRA, we will never have a network that meets the requirements of the people.
