Agreed. I recall suggesting on this forum some time ago that a radical re-think is needed. Perhaps a network of some B roads dedicated to cycle/pedestrian use. No solutions are easy but now is the time before gridlock and/or 20mph limits everywhere. No motorist wants that.

I like the Ghent approach; birthplace too of Sir Bradley Wiggins
