Despite RIS3 being a 92 page document, it is remarkably thin on detail in some areas. For example there is no funding defined for day to day maintenance, as opposed to renewals.

Stop what you’re doing and get involved with this. Cutting half a billion pounds off of RIS3 would be huge.

We are wasting so much money on always more and bigger roads, and we should cut as many of these as possible to refocus spending on active/public transport.

The Department for Transport is quietly reviewing its road investment strategy (RIS3).

But they are only consulting a small number of stakeholders. Here’s how you can have your say 👇

The government's Vision Zero ambition (for zero deaths and serious injuries) has been pushed back by 10 years to 2050.

There is a danger that the new target will mean once again it won’t be prioritised despite the rhetoric.

While the government has set an ambitious target of a 65% reduction in the numbers of people killed and seriously injured by 2035, it has allowed National Highways to get away with a paltry 7.5% reduction by 2031.

+ve words on a ‘greater focus’ on renewal but nothing to say that the bulk of this c.£25bn won’t still be spent on adding poor value road capacity. Missing the clarity of the Welsh gov’s strategic tests for road investment - particularly on alignment with climate action & achieving mode shift

The government recently published its £27bn roads plan for 2026–2031, known as RIS3 (Road Investment Strategy 3).

The headlines focused on the (very welcome) increased budget for maintenance and renewals. But lets dig deeper and see what is actually being proposed.

The government’s next road investment strategy (RIS3) should be out next week with the not-a-budget. I don’t have much hope for it doing more than complete existing promises.
March 22, 2025 at 8:08 AM
In 2026, we will:
- See the extent of the government’s ambition for active travel when it publishes its next 5 year strategy.
- Know if the government is putting its money where its mouth is on prioritising road maintenance over building new roads when RIS3 is published.

The total funding in RIS3 for road safety is around £464m.

As transport journalist @christoframes.bsky.social points out, this is less than 2% of the overall spend, supposedly on National Highway's “top priority”!

RIS2 was thankfully largely delayed into RIS3 but it’s £25-30bn every 5 years.

THAT IS MORE THAN HS2 WOULD COST OVER THE SAME TIMEFRAME.

I have never had the capacity to fight RS2 anywhere near as much as the NIMBYs hit HS2, and one of them hurts more ancient woodland than the other. Guess which.

The DfT is looking to cut the RIS3 budget by £428 million. This would be done by:

1) Cancelling two road schemes (the A46 Newark Bypass and A38 Derby Junctions) - saving £315m.
2) Making £113m of cuts in other capital funding

We're thrilled our our campaigning on road runoff has helped to ensure it is given more focus - with targets and dedicated funding - in RIS3.

The government has set an ambitious target of a 65% reduction in the numbers of people killed and seriously injured by 2035, but allowed National Highways to get away with a paltry 7.5% reduction by 2031.

Road safety has only been given around £464m from the overall £27bn RIS3 budget!
April 8, 2026 at 6:33 AM
The inclusion of the £650m A38 Derby Junctions and £2.2bn A66 Northern Trans-Pennine schemes in RIS3 was the biggest disappointment, as they offer such poor value for money.

Neither scheme has an approved full business case, and could still be scrapped.
