you cannot have devolved road transport but then complain when the cost of building is prohibitively excessive. Either you want devolution or you don't. One of the benefits of being in a union with a larger economy is the transfer of payments between the richer parts and the not so rich parts. Stop whining about lack of development when devolution cannot pay for it. Devolution is what you wanted and as a result you have to accept that Wales is a poor nation that cannot afford the infrastructure developments that became accustomed to when we were not devolved.
As for the M4, I'd say the current issue is due to the fact it is used a a rat run by residents of zooport rather than any other reason. Once you get past Brynglas/Coldra stretch the motorway is fine in either direction. The WG are castigated for trialling the closure of Port Tablot's junctions to see if that benefits traffic flow and yet people still complain. for all their failings, they are at least giving it a go. Why not close a few of the junctions at peak time around zooport and see if that provides a solution...it may well be the answer.
