In Oxfordshire today we own more cars and drive further than ever before. In the last 20 years the number of cars owned by Oxfordshire residents has almost doubled to over 300,000. In addition, more than one in ten of Oxfordshire's workforce is now travelling more than 20miles to get to work. The result is that total traffic on Oxfordshire's roads has increased by two per cent per year since 1991. Forecasts show many sections of Oxfordshire's main roads will exceed capacity by 2011.
