Abstract
The objective of this note is to advise
on an appropriate economic appraisal methodology that should
be used for the assessment of Low Volume Rural Roads - that
is roads upon which less than 200 motorized vehicles per day
travel. Section 1 of this note sets out the reasons that Low
Volume Rural Roads require a slightly different
consideration from other transport projects. Section 2
discusses the approaches to economic evaluation that can be
used for low volume rural roads, whilst Section 3 presents
the manner that the consumer surplus method can be extended
to account for the characteristics of low volume rural
roads. Section 4 contains a summary of the main points of
the note.
