Keith, you've obviously never driven that part of Victoria Road in slippery conditions. The grade between Thistle and Park Avenue is such that it would be a traffic nightmare as a major thoroughfare during a winter storm.
Besides, I'm not sure that it would work out to be that important of a route anyhow, with Wyse/Windmill/Alderney already set up for larger traffic volumes. It would be much more cost effective to remove the bottleneck at the intersection of Wyse and Windmill if that kind of traffic volume were actually needed. Maybe a roundabout might do it...
