In my opinion, nothing can cause greater chaos on roads than when the layout has been poorly designed. The city in which I live has some road networks that appear to have been thought through by some sort of madman, what with car lanes, no car lanes and access routes crossing over each other at irregular intervals.
Perhaps most worrying is one major turn which results in a no car lane when there wasn’t one on the previous section of road. Cars then obstruct everyone else by trying to turn right! A box junction would help solve this problem but a better thought out road layout would have meant this problem didn’t exist in the first place.
