This was mooted a long time ago in London. Inner and outer rings and all
the motorways going to both. The M25 got built, but soon reached its
capacity. The inner one didn't because of the blight on the city. But if
it had, it would be jammed too. The easier you make travelling by car, the
more people who do totally unnecessary journeys. Their freedom possibly,
but how about the freedom of those areas where people live that they're
passing through?

Again it's negativity.

The unfortunate thing is that much of the transport system radiates
from London and it's necessary to go close to it or to it to use much
of the train service and the motorways.

Additional privately funded cross country routes like the M6 toll,
which seems to be pretty effective, would also be a good answer.
