Road freight is a critical component of the UK economy and national supply
chains. Department for Transport evidence notes that more than four fifths of
goods in the UK are transported by road, and that the road freight sector
employs over 290,000 workers across more than 50,000 businesses and adds
around £18 billion to the UK economy each year.
Published freight statistics also show that road remains the dominant mode for
domestic freight movement. In 2024, the UK moved 206 billion tonne kilometres
of domestic freight, of which 82% was moved by road. The availability and
suitability of roadside facilities, including lorry parking, therefore plays an
important role in supporting reliable freight operations and network resilience on
strategic routes.
