General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Another amatuer arm-chair traffic planner eh This forum seems to be chocko with them. Do you expect me to bow down to your apparant superior knowledge and experience Sir? Dont just say it would be usefull, explain WHY in detail.

Even if we were living in a limitless-cash fuelled Utopia your 2 line answer/proposal to this issue contains more holes in it than a well used welders tee-shirt and would raise far more issues than it is likely to solve......However I fear that even if I had an hour or two to point them out (despite your self-held belief that you are an expert and authority on this subject) not only would you fail to see recognise and comprehend the problems you would THEN carry this debate on accusing ME of not seeing the light.

Here comes the answer, you want me to say it so I will. Another lane would improve things....BUT, there is far more to it than laying another 1/2 mile of tarmac and planting a few streetlights. There would also have to be improvements elsewhere in the area to see any real benefit......This is the bit you are abviously struggling with so take it in.......It doesnt matter how wide Scott lane is and how many cars are on at at anyone time, they ALL have to stop and get through Beech-hill lights, Challenge way lights, the mini at the bottom of KG road, the lights and box at the bottom of Monty, the cop-shop crossing and finally ASDA and thats before the dreaded Saddle Jct..........can you see the fundemantal problem now, is it going in, has the wood suddenly just jumped out of the trees, has the penny become a victim of gravity......... or is it still all an unfathomable alien concept to you?.

More vehicles, without an improved flow rate = more congestion. I cant make it any simpler

Anymore questions?
