Fourth of a six-part series which looks at how technology has moulded the modern city.
Lights, Lines and Heavy Fines. Every day a tide of cars and lorries chokes
Britain's cities. Behind the chaos lies a master-plan which struggles to keep the metropolis on the move.
Robin Das , a London cabbie, cruises through the streets and the centuries exploring the age-old battle between the city and its traffic. His journey begins with the origin of traffic lights, takes a rat-run through the American grid plan, and collects Jim Landles , the man in charge of traffic for London.
