“NLC , Highways department is this all they can do to help traffic flow , While congestion get worse in and around town . Pedestrian crossings where subways would help traffic flow , Berkeley circle is a fine example , and traffic lights that stop you for no reason ,Bus lane to nowhere . Pot holes appearing so soon repairs should have lasted much longer have they been done properly ??? or just bodged up , May be they have all been on twitter course .???LOL”
