Colin Foster Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Made the mistake of going past meadowhall at around 5pm this afternoon. It was gridlock, never seen it as bad as that. Anyone know what caused it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy C Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Mostly shoppers but added to by an accident on the M1. A day when the trams and trains look attractive for trips to Meadowhall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not our fault that successive governments have built an infrastructure and a society around the individual use of the private car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who populates "our"? Did the Government remove the ability of the individual to predict, evaluate alternatives and make decisions from a group of people or even what day it was? Did this group actually believe that when they bought a "private car" that the Government would or even could provide them with the infrastructure get them from doorstep to shop without having to share the road and even have to wait in a queue?

Well given the jam packed car parks and massive traffic queues your warped definition of the word few must be a massive number. P.s. who are these "real" folks of the city you speak of? Do they not buy things from shops in their world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
