Rather than building more dual carriageways into town we should be encouraging people to use public transport. Most people in the area covered by Aigburth Road are no more than a ten minute's walk from a railway station.

For people coming along Aigburth Road from outside the city provision should be made in the Speke area for a park and ride scheme similar to the one at South Parkway.
Apart from rush hour there isn't a great deal of heavy traffic on Park Road so it doesn't need traffic relief. I can't say that I have ever found the traffic along Riverside Drive all that heavy either so in an age where we are supposed to be encouraging people to use the car less, I'm not sure what the rationale is for this one.
