>How is it we didn’t have all this trouble years ago? There were far far fewer vehicles around, they were smaller, less powerful etc...>Motorists, cyclists, public transport all shared the road, no problems.Well, there were problems, it was quite bad which is why we got speed limits etc..., but there were far fewer vehicles.>Pc James will cite volume of vehicles. So utilise space, make it available.We've discussed this, more space = more vehicles.>Don’t close off roads so the same amount is crammed into less space, that’s commonsense.It's not the same amount, more roads means more cars, less road, fewer cars. People find they can get about without a car, fewer car journeys.>The councils/TFL also with their foolhardy traffic measures escalate problems.No, they are trying to solve problems.>No right turn, no left turn, no entry. Of course it adds to alternative existing roads.The no left turn at longfield av has meant no ped casualties since it was introduced, whereas there were a fair few before.>Pollution an issue, then the advent of electric cars will solve that.No it won't. They create pollution too, quite a lot of it!>People need their carsNot all the time, not for everything>we are not driving for funWe've discussed this, this is nonsense.
