As I explained I have made a career out of drainage and traffic
enginering
so I am full aware of what works. What happens when you de-bottleneck as
you
put it, you send the problem downstream, this exactly what I was saying
with
the drainage problems. You remove one obstruction letting more traffic
through and then it hits the next one and so on and so on. At some point
you
have to step back from the problem and say well this isnt really solving
the
problem just transferring it, how do we solve it. With traffic we can
change
the way that the demand is satisfied through public transport which
effectively increases the passengers that can be got ionto the town
without
increasing infrastructure. We could keep going down the road of improving
junctions but where would it end, we have been doing this for the past
100
or so years and we still havent solved it this way.

You're a TRAFFIC ENGINEER?

God save us all.
