Controversial view: ring roads are generally necessary as a way of allowing regional traffic to both access and bypass city cores. It's deeply unfortunate that Glasgow pressed ahead with its inner ring road before any others, one which probably hugged the city core in a way unlike any other designed outside of North America. That said, a ring road was and probably is needed in future, and if the M74 is to ever replace the M8 as the main east-west regional route, you need a middling link like the East End Regeneration Route to act as a viable bypass. |
