Transport for London has unveiled a five-year plan designed to reduce congestion across the capital, a week after London was found, once again, to be the capital city with the slowest traffic in the world.

The upgrades will begin this year, with TfL expanding its lane-rental scheme, which requires utility companies and others pay a fee to dig up busy roads at busy times, to help reduce congestion and provide funds for new ideas to reduce it further. TfL says the scheme has been proven to reduce congestion, improve journeys and enhance air quality.
