Unless car use is reduced this means more traffic jams. The rush ‘hours’ will spread. Driving will become even less of a pleasure. The cost to businesses will soar. There will be more damage to the environment and our health will suffer. There has been a 70% increase in motor vehicle traffic in the past 20 years. Almost all of this was increased car traffic, which accounted for nearly 82% of all road traffic in 1997.
