Default Are there too many cars on the road?

Do you think the roads are too crowded? How many more cars do you think our roads can cope with? How would you reduce the problem of congested roads? What form of transport would you use if a car wasn't an option?

Yes we do have too many cars for our roads to cope with. To resolve the problem, building companies need to stop building loads of new houses on tiny ickle bits of land that they cant sell and start to put some time, effort and work into improvine Britain's road systems! You go to anywhere else in the world that has the volume of cars that we have and they have sodding great 3-4 lane motorways connecting everything together, not ponsy little country roads and the occaisional 2 lane by-pass.

Rant over

Limit the number of cars to the number of parking spaces a house has. There are so many 3 car families round my area that parking is more of a problem than congestion, oh if only they would drive them around.

I don't think I'd feel safe on a bike on our roads either!

You can't really see the Road in Paris Noticed how many Paris cars have dents - there's a scary statistic.
