Except it goes straight through the middle of the city, so not a ring road at all
I said AKIN to a ring road, it’s the main Southern route around the city.
I’ll say it to you too watch out for electric scooters filling the cycle lanes soon!!

I'm getting one. Excellent urban transport solution. Those wider cycle lanes will be perfect for them. If we're going to have a chance of fighting climate change and improving the air we breathe these are the sorts of innovations we're going to need.
I like your use of "around" the city
I’m going to get one too and become a nuisance to cyclists, along with others, cyclists will soon san bollox to this and get the bus! [emoji3]

But its not a route round the city it goes straight gbrough the centre. Asouthern ringroad would bee in the sea.
So therefore the A259 is Akin to a southern ring road as it’s the most southerly route, through the city is Western Road !!!
Ok so we differ on this. To try and be constructive do you think it would be a good idea to pursuade drivers using a259 to travel through the city to use the proper northern bypass instead? I guess that might involve improved signage of ways onto the a27 from the south.
Do you accept that drivers might need to accept some level of inconvenience in terms of additional travel time to help improve the city environment or must the needs of the driver trump everything else?
The knock on effects. Even BHCC have admitted being aware of new congestion issues on the A27.

The fella ain't gonna get there I'm afraid ... now if you'll excuse me I'm just off to kayak my way round the Brighton ring road
My first point would be why should anyone suffer inconvenience when we are as a non manufacturing city trying to encourage visitors.
The challenge is drivers coming from the west heading towards say Rottingdean Saltdean Peacehaven Newhaven who start their journey south of the A270 are going to take some persuading to head to the North of Brighton to the 27.
The problem with links to the 27 are the west coat line crossings, currently Boundary Road,Sackville Road and the Drive!
I would consider for example making the 259 a toll road one way though with concessions for locals and delivery’s?
I don’t know the answer to this but are there more cars users on the road than bikes?

The council as of 2009 only had 568 Hackney licensed cars ( Green & White ones you can hail) with a max of 5 new ones each year, they scrapped the restrictions and now have just short of 1000 Hackney Cars, this on top of Private Hire which also numbers nearly 1000.
