I cannot recall a time when I was able to go travel at 15 mph in the city centre let alone 20 or 30mph.
This will have no effect on improving congestion, as per the ET Get Glasgow Moving campaign, all it will do is mean that cars are stuck in traffic for longer and pumping more fumes into the atmosphere.
If they want to do something about the should ban cars from the city centre between the hours of say 7:30 am - 7.30 pm, that would force people onto public transport

That's a good thought. It never ceases to amaze me that the stretch of St Vincent St between Finnieston and (roughly) Elmbank St needs 4 stops on one side of the street and 3 stops on the other.

Totally agree with that one! There are far too many on Dumbarton Road - Argyle St/Sauchiehall St. I keep getting stuck behind buses when they stop every couple of metres (and why are there always two or three of them moving in a conga?!).
