That's another problem, their research is cobblers. They have stats. for the M8 in Glasgow, but basically define "commuters" as anyone who is on the road at the appropriate times. Simple observation of the direction and timing of the flows indicates that most of these people aren't commuters as usually understood at all. -- Niall
