A road has a capacity like a pipe or a cable, exceed that and you get problems, like traffic gridlock, burst pipes or fires in overloaded systems. When I worked on the City Centre Mall everyone laughed at how much Car Parking was being provided, far more than could be used! No one could envisage that you cannot get a parking space now or that if you have to you face gridlock all around the Mall at busy times. Recent policies seemed to be aimed at driving business towards such centres, such as the recent tales of woe among traditional bakers being forced out of residential areas, such policies may result in profit for someone but will the gaiety of the nation be enhanced? Don't hink so.
