Traffic Jam Outside the New Sainsbury's at Selly Oak

Traffic jam outside the new Sainsbury's at Selly Oak
Traffic jam outside the new Sainsbury's at Selly Oak. Note the automotive city design of the junction, with multiple lanes, a bypass lane, and pedestrians channelled by fencing via multi-stage controlled crossings. Automotive city design is centred on private car usage, but since there is not enough space for everyone to drive everywhere, it simply creates traffic congestion.
