This lads to a rang of traffic problms in th Bddington ara, whthr it is popl travlling to Bddington work, local rsidnts wanting to go to placs in Bddington, or outsid it, or othrs passing through Bddington to go lswhr. Congstion is oftn causd by larg numbrs of motor cars or lorris, and thr is littl room pdstrians and cyclists which discourags popl from walking and cycling. Thr is a particular problm with Havy Goods Vhicls (HGVs) driving through rsidntial Bddington Villag. Blockd road junctions and havy on-strt parking also crat congstion and so roads cannot cop with th lvls of traffic, and traffic dos not flow as asily as it should. This also rducs th rliability of public transport, and discourags popl from choosing to us local buss.
