Readers of Swansea’s local paper might be a bit confused after reading how yet another traffic "improvement" conceived by the heinous trolls of Calamity Hall is supposed to operate - or not.

| New scheme same as the present |
Back in October last year we highlighted the political tensions surrounding a plan to transform the two adjacent road bridges crossing the Rive Tawe into a giant roundabout. However, it seems the inertia principle that dominates the strategic process in Swansea Council has finally succeeded in pushing residual commonsense aside. Consequently, work will soon start at a cost of just over a million pounds on making the city centre even less accessible.
Strangely though, the plan which appeared in the local press over the weekend, and is described as a “revised scheme” is actually a depiction of the current traffic flows. So the question is whether this is a cock-up on the part of the paper - or did deputy leader John Hague manage to stifle the scheme after all?

You may use the bridges like that but nobody else does. Look again, it creates three one-way flows and one two way flow. A clear change from present.
It's a change alright - but how is it supposed to be an improvement?
