We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Abolish all
'traffic calming' measures in order to reduce traffic
congestion throughout the Nation's road system.

Congestion is made artificially high by the infliction of
'traffic calming' measures. The removal of bus lanes, chicanes,
speed humps and pinch-points along with sensible timing of
traffic lights would reduce congestion levels and allow the
free flow of traffic throughout our road system and remove the
need for congestion charging and road pricing as well as
reducing exhaust emissions in congestion black-spots.

I do, but i'd rather they didn't waste another scensoredt load of cash taking them all out again !

....then again that's what governments do isn't it !

I quote a local councillor I overheard talking to some of his equally overweight brandy quaffing cigar smoking buddys..

"I can't believe when they got in they sold the bloody cellar - we had a magnificent collection of wines under the council offices"

..... tcensoredt

OK, a cup of raspberry tea and i'm calm again .... !
