You drive at 20mph in fifth gear?
Your poor engine...
Did I say that ?
The question why would you want to. not do you.

Non-passengers tend to be more interested in fares.
Well, its all anecdotal, i've been out running and the traffic at 1pm was from the Woodingdean Crossroads back to Falmer Village
As I came back through Bevendean, I noticed the traffic was backing up from the top of Wilson Avenue back to Downland Rd.
...
Lord Bracknell; said:Warren Road is always busy as the result of traffic building up during school going-home times. *But carry on blaming Lewes Road, if you wish.
I note there are traffic monitoring strips across the ESCC section of the B2123
Eh?
Driving back home from the RSCH towards Lewes this afternoon (4.00pm), via Ovingdean and Falmer Road, I discovered that the queue at the Woodingdean crossroads amounted to ... THREE cars. Last Friday, it was FIVE cars.
At that time, Warren Road is always busy as the result of traffic building up during school going-home times. But carry on blaming Lewes Road, if you wish.
I'm in Mid-Sussex. A friend has just called from Falmer, 45 minutes into his journey from the Marina to Hurstpierpoint.
What I don't understand is how a car moving at 20mph improves congestion and pollution.
If they are really wanting to encourage cycling, they need to extend the pavements on long main roads and have railings separating the cycle lane from the roads. Of course this will cost more money, and will put a dent in the Brighton and Hove Bus Company backed council's plans of eventually forcing a congestion charge, but Jesus christ it's not rocket science.
One thing (IMO) I can never see happening is a congestion charge. Brighton relies on tourism and this would put thousands off coming in on a day trip.
Interestingly, one of the effects of the congestion charge in central London is to make the area more attractive for tourists.One thing (IMO) I can never see happening is a congestion charge. Brighton relies on tourism and this would put thousands off coming in on a day trip.

"Lets go to Brighton to get stuck in traffic"
"Lets go to Brighton to walk freely in the pedestrianized zones"
I know which I'd rather visit. Bring in the congestion charges as no more than 6% of the personal traffic needs to be in the town centre.
As someone who uses the Falmer Road everyday, I can assure you it has got worse since the Lewes Road changes.
Another disastrous decision by Brighton & Hove Council.
AS someone who cycles or buses it up The Lewes Road and can assure you my journeys have got better! Another excellent decision by the THREE political parties that agreed the scheme ( originally Tory, believe it or not)!
I might also remind Albion fans on here that the extension to the Amex was dependent on sorting out the transport corridor. Lord Bracknell, does that mean if the A 270 is turned back into a disgusting urban motorway for 20th century petrolheads, the capacity at the Amex could revert to 22,300?
