But in London it's all queues. It's every single driver tailgating every other single driver. Day in day out.
I would much rather that the authorities stopped saying "you can not drive on this road at more than 20 miles an hour" and making the road worse to enforce it, and started saying "you can not drive on this road at all and started making them much better.
I would prefer cycle campaigning to work towards that aim.
The thing is, it doesnt seem to be difficult to take a road away from motorists. It has been going on for years, pretty much without any complaint from motorists, under the guise of pedestrianisation, redevelopment, regeneration and so forth. The problem is that cyclists got completely ignored in this because the bodies that claim to represent them were busy campaigning for the unachievable.
