RADBURN. New, safe, green paths for pedestrians and cycles
separate from cars, which can reach every house and school.

Ministry of Transport flyovers. Stop/traffic lights not needed.

ROADIONICS. COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY FOR STEERING CARS -
Road pricing. Communications between cars, the police and hitch-hikers.

call at every door and their new chassisless design.

it would make money, and halve unemployment.
