JET set

[Martin Cassini]

It's important to understand the context of priority in which I question the value of traffic lights. For anyone who sees my calls for abolition as extreme, I've always recognised that at certain junctions at peak times, some control might be needed. But how do we know until we've tried it? Hence my pursuit of a JET = Junction Efficiency Trial. We need to base road policy on a trust in human nature rather than an obsession with controlling it. We need a level playing-field for all road-users, with filter in turn (temporal rather than directional priority) at its heart. The new, inclusive approach will express a culture of equal rights and responsibilities, and create the framework for peaceful co-existence between all road-users.
