| Comment | >Traffic in Glasgow is a shambles thanks to the myriad of confusing traffic controls and layouts. Its no wonder people find it a challenge and that there’s significant congestion as it is now. Throwing another problem into the mix won’t help.
That's literally the point of all this.
The council's official mission statement is to make driving through the city centre as unpleasant and circuitous as possible, so people avoid doing it.
They want people to drive around the city centre, not through it. If your destination is somewhere in the city centre, they want you to drive around in a circle until you get to the area you want, then turn into the centre. They don't want you driving across the city centre to get places.
Think of the Broomielaw and Clyde Street to the south, High Street and The Saltmarket to the east, Dobbies Loan or the M8 to the north, and North Street or the M8 to the west.
The official title the council give this policy is 'The Clock Face Model'. If you start planning your journeys like that, it's a lot smoother. |
