A4.3 Composite values of travel time and congestion

Composite values of travel time and congestion

Travel time values combining passenger and commercial (including freight) occupants, and vehicle types for standard traffic compositions are given in table A4.3. These include different time periods for the four road categories defined in appendix A2.2. The right-hand column gives the maximum additional values for traffic congestion (CRV), to be applied as described in appendix A4.4.
