Okay Paul what are your views and ideas

Seriously?

Let the market decide. It will anyway.

All this modern interference wastes resources.

Transport engineering is about facilitating choice, not restricting
it.

Facilitating choice at the cost of everything else though??? If we widened
all of the roads and increased parking facilities and improved all junctions
where would we be. We would have wasted countless resources such as bitumen
and stone. We would encourage everyone to use their cars at all times
polluting the environment and wasting petro chemicals.

Hmm yes that would be a wise move, could you realistically see a modal
change through choice????

If people don't want a modal change then it's absolutely barking of
planners to try to impose one.

Where's the evidence that a majority of people want to be "modally
changed"?

Neither do I think it's about "widening all roads" (etc).

More it's about not obstructing traffic and not obstructing free
choice with ill conceived schemes which do not benefit the majority.
