Like Jenny Rathbone, I’m very concerned about congestion in our cities, particularly Cardiff, and the sheer inefficiency with which we allow current traffic flows. Obviously, we need to do more in terms of public transport. We need to build on what we have and ensure that other schemes are there to get people off the roads. Not driving single journeys with just one passenger would improve the flow of traffic dramatically. Car-sharing schemes via the larger employers, but also through the net, the wonderful new technology we have, should be encouraged, as should special lanes for cars that are shared to use. That also will improve the urban environment and give us other options in terms of designating some roads for pedestrians and cyclists.

We really need to think in a very comprehensive way about how we manage traffic flows. It’s got to be done at peak level. Otherwise, the current gridlock will just get worse and worse.
