Games planners seek to dispel traffic fears

LONDON (Reuters) - Olympic organisers sought on Tuesday to reassure Londoners that the city's traffic would not grind to a halt because of measures designed to speed the journeys of athletes and officials going to Games.

The roads around London are relatively narrow and clogged at the best of times and some sceptics fear that transport could prove the biggest problem during the July 27-August 12 Games.
