There was a piece on Newsnight a while ago, about a suburban town near Copenhagen I think it was, that had adopted a 'sail before steam' rights of way system, and removed ALL traffic controls and priority/lane signage and markings. It looked brilliant. In it they said that traffic jams are actually caused by traffic lights. Duh. Its not rocket surgery is it!? Hold people up, and they start getting all bunched up, so when thy get a chance to move they step on it like nutters, hammering it toward green lights that about to change etc.
God looking this thread^ makes me feel wierd. I was a bit more angry and funny when I was off the weed.
