I do not believe this scheme will improve traffic, in fact I believe it would increase traffic, and doesn't comply with national policies for climate change and modal shift to walking, cycling and public transport. We should be complying with Carbon Net Zero, yet this scheme would add nearly 400,000 tonnes of carbon emissions. The scheme would also increase the amount of accidents. Air pollution would be bad in some areas, and more traffic means more deadly PM2.5 as well The scheme would be destructive and harmful to humans and also wildlife and their habitats. I strongly oppose this scheme
