    Looks like there’s no way for drivers to bypass the village. Right now, there’s one major road there, and it goes through the center of town.

    Might be a good idea to build a bypass, which would move traffic out of the center of the town and create a way to keep traffic moving.

    Just put in traffic lights and a zebra crossing outside the village hall. Problem solved.

    Oh wait, that would cause traffic on the A49 between Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton? Oh noes, what will people do.

    No way that’s a waste of money.
