Olympics Congestion

Paris will set a speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour (30 mph) on the French capital's congested ring road and add a car-sharing lane after next year's Olympic Games, city hall said Thursday.

Aside from that the question marks raised by the Commission over transport congestion in the city could arise again from other members but Istanbul's energetic chief executive Hasan Arat believes solving that problem is already well in hand.

A London taxi driver has come up with a novel way of solving the Olympic hotel dilemma: visitors can sleep in his cab for 50 pounds ($78). Cabbie David Weekes had feared that busy traffic throughout the Olympics and special road lanes only for Olympic VIPs would mean fewer taxi fares.

Twenty20 could be dangerous to the international game unless it is accommodated in a congested calendar, says Ricky Ponting.
