wonder what would happen if everyone drove up to the line, parked up and walked off leaving their vehicles blocking the road. It'd only need to be done once.

not in the case where you've driven out of the car park, as described. Had a result last time I went to Mancunia - pay-on-exit fishboat machine was broken, and the bloke (whom you pay during the day), when going off duty, simply left the barriers up.
might be quite a task to organise. it's not like a devil's island or ring of steel - they're just roads/junctions etc. Obviously quantifiable but still quite a challenge. OTOH, ever read "Gridlock" (Ben Elton 1991)?
Yeah - What's really scary about that novel is how he published it shortly after a visit to Sheffield during his tour (1991?).
I'd called him and asked if he'd mind 'officially' opening a new part of the project Charlotte works for. He agreed, and then arrived a day late - coughing after walking to the project with Phil McIntyre in tow (their hotel was only 500 yards away!). He'd actually got a cold, but I was winding him up about the stats showing Sheffield as the 4th most polluted city in Europe (as it once was, but back in the 70s) for months afterwards... He did do us proud though, with a pile of freebie tickets for his show at the City Hall and some 'back stage' access for residents - no decent Coke, though - the tight fisted pseudo-socialist bastard...
