| Comment | > I’m talking about peripheral roads. For example Maryhill and garscube road, they have always been 2 lane at parts but have been brought down to one lane to accommodate huge cycle lanes. So it’s backed up every single day while the cycle lane sits empty.
To be honest, I want to see this on all peripheral roads in and out of Glasgow. There are far too many journeys of <2km which are done by car, where there is only one person in that car. The statistics are there.
Take a look next time you walk past a queue of cars on these roads, and I guarantee 90%> of them have one driver and no passengers. It's an astonishingly bad use of limited road space, and it also affects bus journeys times.
The Scottish Government has a target of reducing vehicle miles by 20% by 2030, as part of it's climate targets. To even have a chance of reaching this, we need to start making physical changes to our roads and streets to encourage cycling and discourage car use. |
