Not sure about that.

What I really _would_ like to see is a speed limit of maybe 30mph /
50km/h in towns (eg any road with pavement). That would provoke a bit
of thought into the best way to build bypasses!

That would be helpful.

I don't know whether I like that idea. Remember that one-way streets
will be used as much for sorting out congested town centres as
motorways. A better solution, from your point of view, might be to
build complicated interchanges where to turn off the motorway, the
vehicles have to turn through 270 degrees and go back over/under
themselves - this might discourage them from going through the town.
