   One reason why congestion appears to be increasing, especially away from
the centre, is that many local routes have effectively been closed or
actually blocked, forcing all traffic to follow main roads and not avoid
congested town centres. I am well aware that speeding is dangerous,
especially when there are children around, while very low speed limits
please local residents, but I was told that some of the worst offenders were
women rushing to collect their offspring from the local school.
