Carlisle and the Council still live in the stone age,
Lincoln's a bit like that. Town and Gown. We have a bypass......it only bypasses half of the city and goes randomly from dual to single carriegeway. Then they wonder why the traffic is at a standstill morning and evening.....it's not known as Lincoln's longest car park for nothing.
Also which large city has a rail link that doesn't go under or over all of the major arterials...but crosses them? Thus bringing the whole city to a standstill again every time a train enters or leaves the city which in the morning and evening is obviously quite a few commuter trains, never mind the goods trains. The mind boggles.
Still one of the nicest places to live in England though.
