Cars 'threaten country'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britain's countryside could be ruined within a generation if increasing rural congestion from cars is not contained, the Countryside Commission warned. A study carried out by Oxford University's Transport Studies Unit predicts that while road traffic overall is expected to double by 2025, traffic on rural roads may triple. Michael Dower, director general of the commission, called on people to use cars less. More than 70 per cent of rural traffic was from city dwellers.
