Plans to turn Highwood Road into a "linear park" with green spaces and bus and cycle lanes were originally agreed in 2002.
Many of these journeys could be made by bus or cycle or on foot, if the right economic incentives were in place.
South Gloucestershire Council originally planned to turn part of Highwood Road in Patchway into a bus and cycle route for an 18-month trial.
Its scheme, which also suggests greater use of park-and-ride schemes, and better co-ordination of bus, cycle and train routes, is a response to Cardiff council's own local development plan.
The cash will pay for two new junctions and more bus and cycle routes around the motorway south of Reading, and will pave the way for a park and ride site.

The proposed changes would see Highwood Road become a single-carriage dedicated bus and cycle route between Coniston Road and The Boulevard, with two-way traffic permitted between the Standing Stone roundabout and Coniston Road.
Timid at first, easily swayed (quite literally) by the motorbikes whizzing two inches (five centimetres) past my pedals, I now happily join in the waving of fists at pedestrians or lorry drivers hogging MY bus and cycle lane.
The proposals include new 24 hour bus lanes, cycle lanes and improvements to junctions, crossing points and bus stops.
The town of maybe a few hundred people is locked in a self-sustaining cycle of grief after a school bus slides off the road one morning, careens down a slope, and sinks in an icy lake.

To get there, hop on a bus from Central Station or rent a bike and cycle their yourself.
Things like the number of computer instructions per clock cycle, the bandwidth of the RAM bus, and the overall efficiency of the architecture are at least as important as the raw clock speed at which a processor runs.

Rule 240 of the Highway Code lists a series of places where motorists must not wait or park, including motorway hard shoulders and cycle lanes, but it does not mention bus stops.
On Kedleston Road both inbound bus lanes will be removed while on Duffield Road the bus lane will be scrapped in its entirety, with new cycle paths installed from Broadway to Palm Court roundabout.
Over the next four years, the cycle routes will be created and run parallel to Tube lines and bus routes.
These include cycle networks, measures to improve the traffic flow at Arle Court roundabout and a new bus link between GCHQ and Charlton Kings.
Other features of the scheme include adding a cycle lane to Silent Street and a night-time taxi rank and private hire area added to the bus station.
