Traffic shouldn't be going through Low Fell, full stop, the locals should be using buses heading towards Newcastle; non-locals have no reason to go through there, at all, bar rat running Heworth/Whitemare Pool or the A1 traffic. 

There's nothing else along there for substantial traffic to be using it.

Same discussion for Bensham Road and Old Durham Road (excluding the hospital). If you want to improve the buses then you need to fix the car bottlenecks ie. Heworth, Whitemare Pool, the A1 etc.

It's the same North of the Tyne with Cowgate being a shambles, aswell.
