So his parking scheme got blown out, so now our beloved mayor has asked for a feasability study on Bristol becoming an LEZ area!
What a total knobber, does that man just not understand that his policies are going to kill business in Bristol?

He's trying to make us like London why on earth he wants to do such a retarded thing is beyond me. .. Parking zones are not way forward to beat congestion in the city nor is imposing a low emission ban on HGV vans etc in the centre he also is playing a very game as he never mentioned any of these plans when ppl voted him in & now he wonders why everyone is angry at him? Well duh!

All they have to do is change light sequences so you don't get green to red on round roundabouts or my personal favourite colston avenue where it stacks back on itself when everyone wants to to go right but they can't as its red light so forces a huge jam & then ppl buses block the traffic flow

Here's another one. They could end the frequent total gridlock around Welsh Back / Queen Charlotte Street / Baldwin St by putting a Pelican / Puffin crossing at the Hole in the Wall end of Welsh Back so that pedestrians cross in batches rather the continuous 'we have right of way' stream that causes the traffic to back up. Of course they won't do that, because they actually need to congestion to justify their stupid socialist-inspired agenda.

Yup.

I cycled from St Andrews to the Watershed recently and got stopped at 13 different sets of traffic lights. Sort the lights out and see better use of road space and traffic speeds.
