Managing traffic flows

sat nav, google maps etc has transformed how people drive - it's now routine for all vehicles, from HGVs to personal cars to try and shave minutes of their journeys by take short-cuts down residential streets that were not designed to take that volume of traffic. Overrides/agreements should be put in place so that commercial vehicles stick to the major route unless their journey requires them to. It'll be much safer and cleaner for everyone and probably quicker as well - large vehicles turning into and out of small junctions must slow up traffic considerable. There may be further savings from having to repair minor and side roads less
