Apologies for not having read through the entire thread in case this has already been brought up, but isn't the elephant in the room here the fact we allow HGVs into built up urban areas?
They DESTROY the streets, kill more cyclists than any other vehicle, and could easy be stopped at outer-city depots for their loads to be transferred to vans, thus also creating more jobs - albeit more WVMs - the problem of which can be resolved by holding van drivers up to the same (or at least similar) standards to which HGVs are supposed to.
And between cities they could be replaced by trains.
Basically, fuck HGVs.
