Obelix Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'd said England, not UK. I must have missed that. I'd tend to agree with your list as posted then. ---------- Post added 29-09-2015 at 13:30 ---------- LEEDS!!! that has one of the worst city centres for driving around its one constant ring road with umpteen one way roads etc not a good example I don't actually find it that tricky - you have to use the Loop yes but it makes it better flowing and easier to get to places than a mishmash like Sheffield has.

gwhite78 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Coventry - the ring road at least - is far worse. (And it's difficult to think of a city that had more of a "blank canvas" than that one) I've drove on Coventry's ring road and didn't find it a problem, it looks intimidating as its raised up high but it does allow traffic to flow.

Phanerothyme Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Just think, 10 years from now when we call up our driverless e-car on our mobiles, and whizz through streets are completely free of parked cars, with the traffic flowing smoothly at speed, and arriving safely at our destination after a brief snooze and read of the paper. Meanwhile, lets carry on littering the streets with our expensive chunks of stainless steel status indicators, that spend maybe 10% of the their time in use, and the rest of it cluttering up the place with their bulky ugliness.

Nice thought but I'd say 30 or 40 years hence. Going to be some interesting situations on the way to full driverless too, when we're part user driven, part driverless. Given some people's distrust of Smart motorways (see other thread) perhaps 30-40 years is optimistic.

howsmicha Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Just a small point re the attractiveness or otherwise of Sheffield. I was told by someone in the know that Sheffield is the city where most students choose to stay, live and work after their graduation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 anybody else stuck in the morning rush-hour chaos this morning, where a single broken down car on sheaf Street caused gridlock across the city? Took me nearly half an hour to get from Shalesmoor to Brook Hill roundabout How can one incident cause so much congestion? The cost to the city in lost working hours must be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
