There’s good news on the horizon for small residential towns and villages in the UK that have been disturbed by drivers taking shortcuts through their streets.
Sat Nav operators are now being encouraged to update their software so that vehicles will no longer be routed through peaceful neighbourhoods. Although it’s likely these changes won’t be put into place immediately, it’s intended that within the next three years, commuters from big towns and cities who currently use residential streets as shortcuts, will be directed to use main roadways that are designed more specifically to manage higher traffic loads. As well as reducing congestion in smaller areas, this alteration will also hopefully reduce noise and emissions in the long term. For more information, please visit www.rac.co.uk.
