Doesn't do what it says on the tin?

So the Government are proposing a second toll motorway?  It may well create jobs and possibly help the country's overall economic situation, but if the experience of the M6 Toll is anything to go by, it will not in any significant way act as a relief road taking traffic off the M4 motorway which it is to be built next to.  See my post of 13/1/06 for the reasons why this is so.  The charge on the M6 Toll by the way is now £5.50 for a car.
