Roads: Repairs and Maintenance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of car weight trends on wear and tear on highways.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Secretary of State has not made a specific assessment of the potential impact of car weight trends on wear and tear on highways. Commercial vehicles (typically those greater than 7.5 tonnes) are the dominant factor in determining road design and contributing to road wear rather than cars.
