What a hare-brained idea! What would the portals do to their

It would certainly make a big difference to the bits next to the
laughable south circular. That road is sufficiently awful that I often
find it quicker to just drive straight across London instead of using it.

I don't think you have absorbed the lessons of how roads generate new
