I've driven along prospect road around 4pm a few months back. Yes it is a single file run. Yes the average speed was probably only about 20-30km/...but it was moving. most folk seem to be moseying along just looking for a park or the next side street. Not sure if a tram with sensibly placed stops would be too much of a problem, particularly if it replaces buses.Patrick_27 wrote:I'll agree with you on The Parade, but have you been down Prospect Road during peak hour? It's a nightmare... I'm all for trams along Prospect Road by the way, but they'd need to widen Churchill Road to allow for four lanes as opposed to two.
Have to agree with you re Churchill Road though. I think it was a mistake to make it single lane since it is such a through route. I know it is earmarked for higher density, but there is still a lot of commercial and heavy vehicles along there. Trams on Prospect road would significantly increase traffic along Churchill road.
