Summary: A Good Piece of Textbook
Rating: 4

This book is a very good textbook which outlines all essentials and principles of transport planning and policy, with examples and illustration. There is one minor de-merit which the book is too concentrate on United Kingdom situation. However, I would still say that this book is very useful for students who need to understand the transportation and traffice engineering principles.

Summary: Great Britain's transportation systems planning.
Rating: 2

While the book may have a great deal of useful information regarding transportation planning, it is written about Great Britain's roads and other public transport and so has limited utility in a non-British transportation context. Formulas are in kilometers, designs are for left-hand driving, etc.
