| "It is not just about making it easier to get from Chiswick to Earls Court." Well it would be good if the the scheme actually explained how it addressed anything more than making it easier to get between Chiswick and Earls Court. At the moment, they seem to be trying to achieve possibly marginal time savings through Hammersmith (which will vanish if traffic increases to fill the capacity) only for this traffic to come grinding to a halt when it hits the existing road layout on the other side. There is really a basic question that hasn't been answered - what is the point of increasing the road capacity into central London as it is funnelling traffic into an area that can't deal with it. There would be logic to try and help speed traffic out of central London, but not into it. |
