£274 million to upgrade 3 of the 45 junction on the M6 alone.
£4 Billion to upgrade the whole M6.
Motoring taxes generate £6 billion pa
Would you give a breakdown of motoring taxes?
VED is the only specific motoring tax, it raises £6billion pa of which £10billion is spent on motorway maintenance, even Autoholics Anonymous agree with that.

31 Junctions on the M5
£2.8 Billion
47 Junctions on M1
£4.3 Billion
How are motorists going to pay for this as well as the rest of the motorways and the local road they currently use free of charge?
I presume that you do not pay council tax, or any other form of
taxation, as local roads are paid for by the council that gets its money
from council tax & central government.
So you agree cyclists pay for the roads they use many times over given the 4th power of axle loading rule.
