After that you should be able to focus on a new transit priority based on the new dedicated high speed routes available.. lastly if you were to achieve this all in the next 10-15 years you could have a manageable city with much better traffic flow then today... but by then hopefully you will have grown finallyyy and the ring road can be completed... the added investment of working inside first rather than ringroad first will benefit london more greatly.

You're totally right.
And I'm glad you mentioned Oxford. This seriously concerns me. They're spending massive taxpayer dollars to reconstruct a large portion of that road as we speak. Why exactly is it not being widened to 6 lanes at this time? Are they going to waste money like they did with the VMP, only to have to rip it apart again in a few years?
