 Traffic calming - doesn't!
Traffic calming! Those little islands, roundabouts, chicanes and narrow bit are supposed to calm traffic but they make me mad. I think a lot of authorities confuse traffic calming with causing congestions.
Why O Why do they insist on narrowing the exit of 2 lane roads into 1 lane where everyone has to wait their turn when before the left turners could filter off left and everything kept flowing nicely.
Causing congestion is not calming, it causes pollution and lots of other problems.
Do you agree? What traffic calming winds you up the most? The silly chicanes or the speed hump? Is there a benefit to traffic calming methods?
