I had this crazy idea the other day about banning all the HGV and farm traffic from the road during peak hours, say between eight and ten in the
morning and then four to six in the evening. Okay it probably wouldn't be very popular with the truckers or the haulage companies, but just imagine how much easier it would be to get to work in the morning. All we'd need to do then is remove the school run mum and hey presto! - congestion problem solved.
No seriously, probably not an ideal solution but with the rising cost of fuel, more cars and more toll roads it will be interesting to see just how things are going be in the future.  I doubt that there is anything that can really be done about growing congestion problems not just in the cities but on the suburban and country roads as well. At the end of the day people need to get to work and the shops need to be stocked with goods. We'll just have to live with the snakes in the morning!
