| Abstract: | Based on an empirical analysis of the British road building programme the author concludes that the regional development effect of the highway building is small. Legislative influences such as limitation on driving hours and taxation measures may have a more significant influence on the economy. The road programme was found to have a centralizing effect on the distribution of employment. |
