Similar current thread here:

Previous incident in the same area here :

Forgive me but this airspace is as near as damn over my old home so I do have an interest, having watched this aerial ballet more than a few times. So many "planes".......

Anyhoo....for the educated non pilots who enjoy reading the boards, can someone give us top level explanation of what the new SIDs mean in practical terms and whether they are likely to solve this issue.

Given that the current procedure is :
SID clearnace delivery and readback
3000 ft climb limit and readback

What's the practical fix over and above this check I guess is my question?
Thanks
