It's a 'no' from me. There are, as I see it, several reasons why things have developed to the extent they have and the continued vilification of 'evil car-driver cash-cows' needs to stop:
1) Poor public transport - outside of the major metropolitan areas, public transport is woeful; expensive, unreliable, unpleasant and slow. It just isn't an option so that leaves cars as the only choice.
2) Many people can no longer afford to live where they work - I live about 10 miles away from my office and have no choice but to commute (despite WFH during lockdowns, we're required to be 'back in' again). I appreciate 'I am the traffic' but weighed against PT it's half the time, a third the cost, reliable, warm and dry when it's cold and wet and I don't have to travel with strangers, especially during a pandemic. I can't even imagine commuting an hour or two each way at the ends of the day getting into and out of London for example.
3) New housing developments - they're designing these with the express intent of reduced road widths (to 'discourage' on-road parking) and insufficient spaces for a property (to 'discourage' car ownership) Add in people taking work vehicles such as vans home after work and not being allowed to use them on the weekends results in them being parked up all over the place. Without putting in place good public transport links people have little choice but to use a car. These new estates will cause havoc for decades and decades sadly.
4) Woeful underinvestment in the road network - this, to my mind, is the biggest one. We're utterly reliant on road transportation for the economy but it's barely grown in capacity over the years. The 'eco' argument doesn't wash when zero-emissions vehicles are considered (including things like hydrogen or possibly synthetic fuels); they still need roads to drive on for people to deliver goods to shops, provide services, and to commute to and from work etc.
We seem to be going backwards - we have cars with incredible safety features, capable of high speeds with ease yet speed limits are being reduced everywhere, capacity is being throttled (eg. several roads near me that once had two perfectly functional lanes have now been reduced to a single lane with a large hatched area - there's no good or logical reason for this, other than to create congestion). How long before we have to have a man with a flag walk in front...? The other wheeze is this; my car is parked all day on a quiet, nearly-empty residential road with a parking permit. The permit is based on....emissions! It's mental; the car's emitting NOTHING when parked, it's an absolute con. Oh, and the permit price has just doubled over last year - they know they can get away with it and people will just have to cough up.
The problem is that those who make the rules mainly inhabit the Westminster bubble and they appear to have next to no understanding or appreciation of the real world or how it works.
Question: they're currently lowering limits everywhere with 'emissions' as the excuse (nothing to do with the fact that an artificially low limit will mean more drivers break the law and therefore they can be fined...££££££ *KERCHING*). When we're all in zero-emissions cars, presumably those speed limits will be increased dramatically again? No? Thought not.
