Comment | The complete opposite is true, the M8 running through the city causing increased traffic problems. It encourages more people to take the car which increases the strain on the city. Cars coming off the motorway onto traffic lights end up backing up onto the motorway due to the increased number of cars reaching the lights and hence block the motorway slowing the traffic. You can see this happening every day with the motorway slowing to a snail's pace. This all increases congestion inside and outside the city as well as massively increasing emissions. |
