The Problems of Traffic Congestion in Chester

The Problems of Traffic Congestion in Chester The existing problems that Chester faces concerning traffic congestion

are numerous and varied. They range from dangerous conditions to

frequent delays and occur all over the city but mainly in the City

Centre (CBD).

A number of solutions have been offered and Chester City Council have

adopted lots of these ideas. Although some are believed to have

worked, some have definitely not. I believe that some of the

solutions, like Park and Ride schemes, which operate by collecting

passengers on the edge of the city and dropping them off in the

centre, have certainly failed to work, especially on Saturdays (a

popular shopping day). My regular experiences of travelling with

different Park and Ride services has taught me that it's just as easy

to park your car on the edge of the CBD and walk into the centre of

Chester than to use these special 'faster' services.
