Default London's traffic problems solved

Well, if you believe this site:

The one problem I can't quite work out is - if all roads go over and
under each other, how on earth do you turn left or right?!


That's not the only one. I'm sure the author never tried to bike on a
2 metre wide, bi-directional bike path, for example ...

I'm also sure he never saw the prices privately owned car parks charge
e.g. in Californian cities ...

And I'm also sure he thinks he's never going to move, never going to
need something delivered or repaired, and his waste is collected by
little green men from Mars - or why did he design roads completely
useless to anything higher than a car?

You need to understand that the author (in his own words) "is an idiot
.... This has not stopped him from becoming an architect ... He has
designed telephone exchanges and the top security prison in England."
Obviously well qualified for radical redesign of the transport
infrastructure. He should get together with that other "architect" who
planned to deface London's streets with monorails.

....such as ambulances and fire engines.

But his wife thinks he's a genius, and that's what counts.

Incidentally, the area of West Hampstead shown in the map has been
exceptionally quiet whenever I've been through there, with the exceptions of
West End Lane and Kilburn High Road.

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
