So lets see more cars on the new roads, oh and more cars on the a
road , oh and the b road, oh and yes another car parking space
required, and not forgetting the pollution emitted by the vehicle
and its effect in increasing the congestion.....


Oh and the Sallys friend thinks what a good idea, and then Jane..
and then John


Are we getting there...do I need to draw a picture for you.

So it's O.K. for you to travel, but not others, or are you going
to lead by example and stay within walking distance of your home
all of your life?

It's completely obvious that's not what he means. It's true that people
use their cars too much. It's ridiculous that people think it's ok to
commute 50 or 100 or whatever miles to work each day in a car with only
one person in it. Obviously people have to get to places some distance
away from their home but there's no need for them to be so ridiculously
far away just so some rich **** can live in a quiet little village.

It's also true that a new road doesn't just relieve congestion. If you
build a new motorway the cars don't just magically appear on it, they
have to go over other roads to get there. And so other roads become
more congested because they're feeding this new motorway. So what's the
solution, make the roads feeding the motorway bigger? Then you have to
make the roads feeding the roads feeding the motorway bigger, and so
on. The solutions to these problems are a lot more complex than just
building more and bigger roads.
