I can see why in one way. It&#8217;s a narrow lane and carries a lot of traffic towards the M6. Problem is it gets used because the alternative involves a good few more miles, and some very busy roads. I don&#8217;t see how pushing more traffic through Walsall town is a good thing, but that seems to be the intention. There seems to be an obsession with alll the traffic going the same way, even if it&#8217;s woefully inadequate.<br \/>\nI live in a road that also gets used as a shortcut, which I&#8217;m not exactly ecstatic about, but there&#8217;s two significant things.<br \/>\n1. I bought the house here. If I didn&#8217;t do my research, it&#8217;s my own fault.<br \/>\n2. I don&#8217;t want traffic calming. I hate it. It wears out your car and causes pollution.<\/p>\n<p>Traffic calming is usually the result of a new housing. So maybe it&#8217;s on it&#8217;s way- there&#8217;s been some of that round here recently. I hope not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traffic calming is beginning to drive me mad. The latest thing to suffer it is part of my route to work: Chapel Lane.
