    It’s a daily occurrence somewhere along the m4 in Wales, one of the worst in the uk now surely

        No more new roads.... remember that....and no M4 relief road. Newport to Cardiff might as well be a mud track. I used to do that daily - working from home since covid, petrol costs just about gone, commute time non existent and when previously I had to get to Bristol or London for work on the train - that has gone to - so any train strike no longer affects me. One of the few benefits of covid.

          Yes having lived in Bristol for 4 years I tend to agree….that 20 mile stretch from Newport over to the m5 is right up there.

            I’ve noticed how bad the traffic is in Cardiff lately, probably because no one can rely on any sort of public transport and the fact it’s useless anyway if your going from one suburb to another not into the centre….which most people need. I dread to think how bad the emissions are now? I bet we won’t hear about it though….had to drop my boy off the other day at 8am to school, he usually walks, reckon it took me 30 minutes round trip to get one mile and back to Whitchurch rd..it’s not even an option to drive which is of course what “they” want….i bet those who live along Allensbank rd must love seeing queuing traffic outside their houses everyday for the first time ever…..just for a cycle lane put in the wrong place…:shrug:

              All the talk about saving lives with speed, it's improving dangerous stretches of motorways they should concentrate on, that's where most of the deaths occur along with fast A Roads and tractors pulling out.

                Many roads in Cardiff are now single lane to accomodate deserted bus and cycle lanes, the result, inevitably, is congestion.

                  Deliberate, slowly making driving less pleasurable, and trying to reduce car usage.

                    Cardiff Bus frequently post on their Facebook page that a service is delayed because of congestion. If only they realised that by slowly cutting their own services, people will have to revert back to their cars.
                    Cardiff Bus can be part of the solution but don't help themselves.
