Actually, in my experience this is not so much cities as London (and possibly other cities of equivalent size). Go to Manchester, Edinburgh, or Belfast (the other cities I have lived in in my life), and it just isn't like that -- people get out of each other's way, make space, and don't think that the quickest way of getting on a train is to crowd forward and reduce the people getting off to single file.

Filter in Turn

posted by [identity profile] sbisson.livejournal.com at 03:05am on 07/05/2002
I'm not entirely sure. There's a concept back home of the "filter in turn" system, where two roads meet that allows a constant flow of traffic. It's a lovely idea, that works well, even at the end of The Dual Carriageway or even entering The Tunnel. But why doesn't anyone implement this system for motorway lane closures?

Mind you the Highways Agency is based in London...

it's been a while since I've done any wandering around Belfast, but even at its worst, Edinburgh's nothing like as bad as London. And while the tourists in the West End were a bit of a bother, they were nothing like as bad for sheer 'me first'-ism as the hordes of fat and greasy citizens swirling about the City. If Dante's Inferno was to exist, I reckon that Charon's boat would have been replaced by something not completely unlike the Waterloo & City line in August.
