They're making sure that when they build or expand roads, they're also checking to see if it makes life better.

They'll look at how long it takes to drive, how much fuel people use, and if people like the roads.

They'll also see if the roads make it easier to get to work or school, if businesses can make more money, and if the environment is affected.

They want to know if it helps the economy.

The people in charge of building the roads will gather all the information and give it to the government to review.
