| Comment | It wasn't really about using Glasgow as a Guinea Pig. The motorway was built to address very real traffic issues at the time. All traffic travelling from one side of the city to the other, or 'through traffic' travelling from somewhere beyond Glasgow in one direction to beyond in another direction, all had to go through the city centre areas. The motorway was built to take all that traffic off the surface streets. The city centre today is about 80% less congested than it was in 1960 according to the motorway podcast guys. |
