<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Originally envisaged by the British gov&#039;t of the early 1970&#039;s, and enthusiastically taken up by Margaret Thatcher, who saw it as a lasting monument to her free-market economic theories, and to the freedom of the individual to drive cars rather than take nasty socialist collective trains and public transport, the M25 was initially designed on a flawed premise (it was designed to take a lot less traffic than it eventually was called upon to contain). The forward projection of traffic flow did not keep pace with the massive expansion in private car ownership that took place in Britain during the 1980&#039;s, especially in London and the South-East, and the motorway took so long to build, with so many failures to meet scheduled deadlines, that the M25 was effectively obselete before it opened...</div>
