LONDON'S TRAFFIC SIR,—Sooner or later, probably sooner than we think,
London's traffic problem will result in restrictions of such ferocious severity that private motorists will regard the Pink Zone period as what will by then appear to be the golden age of motoring.
If these future restrictions arc not forthcoming, London, but half-working now, will stop working altogether. I think.
Before this terrible time comes, could not all com- mercial traffic in the city be confined within the hours of midnight and six a.m.? The great saving of time and money would more than pay for higher wages presumably needed to attract drivers and skeleton despatch and receiving staff to night work. Could this scheme work?
Consider the enormous job done in that tiny City area, Covent Garden. Surely it is only possible be- cause of the time of day in which it is done? Com- mercial transport could surely do in six hours the work it takes eight hours to do now.—Yours faith-
