Like so many, the council have done their best to stop people from driving into the centre, by junction "improvements" which reduce 2 lanes down to one, and deliberate timing of traffic lights so that only a handful of vehicles make it across on each green. <br /><br />The (marginal) reduction in city centre air pollution is hailed as a great success, but hides the increase in traffic elsewhere. We often drive 20 miles to a nearby town to do our shopping - it takes very little longer, and is less hassle.microdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352078582764696261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246572545436649307.post-24052206071058472412011-02-09T13:28:11.429+00:002011-02-09T13:28:11.429+00:00You try typing with flippers!You try typing with flippers!Hacked Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08016667577546745576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8246572545436649307.post-90166084249219353832011-02-09T13:19:43.160+00:002011-02-09T13:19:43.160+00:00It is the rush hour on the M25 for most of the day...It is the rush hour on the M25 for most of the day, therefore four (at least) lanes are needed plus a hard shoulder.<br /><br />The increased traffic flows are partly due to the ridiculous delays in London caused by elongated traffic light timing sequences and junction and road closures, making journeys unbearable: people use the M25 as a detour.<br /><br />Traffc flows were substantially cut around 15 years ago when Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs)were spread through the capital.<br /><br />However, any benefit to the public was more than nullified by the above deliberate actions. It's simply quicker to drive the extra 20 miles.<br /><br />The mooted £1 Bn "saving" is a number plucked out of thin air.
