The traffic system is designed for rush hour traffic. Outside of this
it just adds to the problem. If a side road on the A4 with lights
stopping the A4 let out 2 cars but holds up 50, this is adding to the
problem. Say the 50 car wait for 1 minute, would the cars in the side
road not have an opportunity to get out in this time if there was no
lights easily there? Probably, there would not have had any problames
as the 50 cars would have passed. Cartany not longer that 2 minuits
each. 4 minutes or 50 minuites of extra traffic. Just add all the
times across London out side of rush hour time and I would say you
could louse 10% of hangover traffic that is delayed into rush hour.

What about stupid transport systems, ever Wait at a left hand fitter
light when you know you could go? Do the system designers uses logic
and reason?

Plea tell me about a stupid transport system near you and maybe,
perhaps, possibly, but probably not we mite get thing changed.
