I agree nigglynellie and Jalima the traffic around Bristol is really bad, basically caused by the building of a metrobus system which no-one, other than the council, seems to want. There are also 20mph limits on main roads (not just around schools and hospitals) which cause more pollution.
It is a great city ruined by the previous Mayor and the current Mayor who seem more interested in self publicising vanity projects than in running the city.
Sorry for the rant by I have always loved Bristol and hate to see what is happening to it.
