00:00According to Inrix, Bristol was the second worst city for traffic, with 65 hours of delays
00:26per driver.
00:27She came second to London, who has an estimated 101 hours of traffic in 2024, but what do
00:33locals think?
00:34Oh, I find traffic okay and that, I find it alright.
00:40I know sometimes it's difficult when people come to the village to shop and they find
00:44it difficult parking in the car parks and that, and sometimes they have to look round
00:55for parking spaces, basically.
01:00I think the driving age should be put up to 21, and I know that's horrible for the kids
01:05because my grandchildren all want to learn, but I think if it was 21, it'd make that gap
01:11a bit better.
01:12I would agree with that, and there was a time when you reached the city centre, you could
01:18turn right to go along Baldwin Street, and then they stopped that, and I honestly don't
01:25know, it just doesn't make sense in Bristol, I'm sorry.
01:30Let's find out from locals what they think could be done to reduce congestion in the
01:35city of Bristol.
01:37You can encourage more people to walk and cycle and actually improve the bus service,
01:44so more people can take buses, yeah, basically, yes.
01:48The roads, potholes everywhere, parking on the pavement is awful, yeah.
