ABSTRACT
The way that alternatives are typically considered in decision-making goes something like this. ‘We have congestion in central Standstill, so we will need a bypass from South Standstill to North Standstill. Should
we choose route A, B or C?’ Or ‘having carried out traffic studies, we district planners recommend a Park and Ride system at Robust Road as a way of solving the congestion problem, but Politician Meddlemuch lives near there, so we’d better put it at Sensitive Street instead’.
