Traffic Jams

The A1 Hallucination

I just spent over an hour driving between Morges and Nyon because someone crashed his car, and everyone else is rushing home, or away because the holidays are beginning. I bring this up because the friends of Global Warming want to expand the A1 between Nyon and Geneva, to allow for fluid traffic.

The traffic jam I encountered is between Morges and Nyon so to expand between Geneva and Nyon would do nothing to alleviate this problem. There was a time, when I was younger, and more optimistic, when I loved the idea of the motorway being expanded, but now I think it’s too late. It should have been done two or three decades ago. If it is done in six years it will create awful traffic jams for 10-20 years, and by the time it’s ready for use traffic will have doubled again.
