Why? Building more road capacity will reduce congestion in the short term, but new roads often fill up.
Your view Strongly agree Agree Don't Know Disagree Strongly Disagree
Why? Well maintained roads are safer roads for all users - vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
Why? Fewer people travelling by car into the centre reduces congestion, cuts pollution and is safer for people.
Why? There are still too many accidents on our roads. Safer roads benefit everyone, and driving safely helps smooth traffic flows.
Why? Red Routes reduce congestion by tackling inconsiderate parking, and by giving local people convenient parking and loading areas
Why? Using alternatives to the car can cut congestion and pollution and be better for people's health by encouraging walking and cycling.
Why? Reliability and increased capacity on our trains will improve accessibility, reduce car use and improve air quality. Rail also remains the safest form of transport.
Why? Trams are a fast reliable form of transport. A bigger tram network means more people can leave the car, reducing congestion and cutting pollution. Trams are also very safe.
Why? Buses are the most accessible form of transport and are safe. Better buses and more reliable journeys will benefit everyone, providing a viable alternative to the car. Kneeling buses help people with mobility difficulties.
Why? Many people own a bicycle and could use it to commute short distances although some are put off by hazards. More cycling means less congestion and pollution and a benefit for personal health.
Why? Some journeys could be walked instead of taken by car. But people need to feel safe and there needs to be good facilities for those with sight or hearing difficulties. Walking is good for health, and cuts congestion and pollution.
Why? Recent surveys have found that many people believe congestion to be a problem that affects them personally and one that is getting worse.
Why? There are a number of options for tackling congestion, which include introducing flexible working hours to reduce peak flows of traffic, and charging those who drive on congested roads at the busiest times. It makes sense to look at the benefits and drawbacks of all the options.
Obviously it is not possible to give top priority to everything. We would like you to indicate your top FOUR priorities by indicating one of the 13 issues.
