Harrow View Traffic Jam Association has called for a bank holiday to celebrate the completion of the great gas works of 2024.
A spokesperson commented:
“Motorists have long waited for this day of liberation. Many had to make difficult choices during 2024, we even heard of some people chosing to walk to the station in the morning instead of getting a lift.
It is a human right to sit in a single occupancy vehicle moving at an average of 3 mph.
We are calling for action from whichever local representative wishes to capitalise on this topic.”
Colin, Harrow Today’s Transport Correspondent, attended the traffic jam today to let you have your say.
“It’s just so nice to have the traffic moving so slowly again, this many cars on the road, I can catch up on my dating apps and email on the way to work again.”
Ben, BMW X5.
“I get to spend more time with my son who watches Tik Tok with his headphones in when I give him a lift. He took up cycling to school in 2024. I was worried about the effect that will have on his GCSEs. I’m so relieved we can get back to normal.”
Zara, Nissan Qashqai.
“I’d honestly missed being left hooked by transit vans swinging into side roads on my way to work. Good to see such boisterous behaviour on the road again.”
Martin, a bike of some sort.
