One of the real benefits of living north of Copenhagen is that you get to enjoy the slow moving southbound morning rushhour. This morning it took me 55 mins. to drive from my house to the airport - normally a 25 min drive.
The city of Copenhagen have proposed a road pricing scheme to limit the amount of cars entering the city hoping to soften the daily gridlock. This is probably good if you live in Copenhagen city, but if you live outside, like I do, you're probably not going to notice any difference (for the better) since everybody will be busy driving their cars as close as they can to the perimeter.
I'm all for road pricing and all that hippie stuff, but I think that the cities around Copenhagen should also put a price on their roads, so that all the merry people living inside the perimeter would have to pay to leave. Now that's genius, because it would greatly reduce the number of annoying city dwellers who come and clutter our beaches and woods and every green spot you can imagine with their week-end kit, including tents, fires, the in-laws and friends of the in-laws.
