shift from car to motorcycle of just 10% resulted in a dramatic reduction of traffic queues and a quicker return to ‘normal’ driving conditions. In terms of actual figures what this means is that if just 1 in 10 drivers switched to two wheels an overall reduction in travel time of 63% would be achieved. Interestingly the team found that if just 25% switched then congestion would be eliminated altogether

Somehow I can't see the present government running with this idea, despite it going a long way to solving city traffic issues and helping emissions targets. Can't see Cameron on a Silver Wing just yet, mind you there's a certain justice in seeing George Osborne riding a Bandit..... ;)
