  "text": "In terms of priorities for keeping the network moving efficiently, the same level of activity is not expected in relation to every road in an authority’s area. Authorities need not concentrate on roads where there is relatively little traffic movement and where this is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. However, they should know which of their roads fall into this category and which roads are important for the movement of people and goods. Authorities should pay careful attention to the latter category by, for example, facilitating the efficient movement of traffic on key public transport routes and ensuring that the operation of any bus priority measures (such as bus lanes) is subject to minimal disruption.",
