Accessibility
148We then examined the existing system of roads along which all this traffic has to pass, in order to check its efficiency for providing convenient movement between the various parts of the town, and for giving access to individual premises. We found a good deal of congestion, lack of parking and garaging facilities, inadequate loading facilities, restrictive traffic regulations, and in places a definite conflict arising from the use of particular roads for different kinds of traffic. As might be expected these difficulties were most severe round the town centre and in the more central residential areas (Figure 76).
