Goodness me. Ministers have promised “to look closely at research that says that road plans ‘will barely improve journeys’. Does this mean they might actually get the message that you build a new road and more cars turn up to fill it? People who support roads seem to think that they are the solution to a problem the only solution to which is for people to cut down on their car use. It’s about time it came to general acceptance that roads just lead to more cars, they aren’t a long-term or even a mid-term solution for congestion.
