One of the main issues nowadays is the volume of goods traffic moved around the road network.
Since we all started internet shopping the traffic has quadrupled and there is an insane amount of trucks on the road overnight.
There are a lot of rail freight depots popping up all over the country, even big supermarkets now have rail freight depots.
Goods still need to be moved to the final end point though.
Very true. Am regularly encountering the little supermarket home delivery trucks on tiny little lanes, where they are a nightmare as they fill the entire width of the road and force you into the hedge, and a far more immediate threat to my existence than slightly bigger trucks that takes roads I generally avoid.
