1: Ban lorries from overtaking - they must stay in the inside lane.
2: Remove motorway speed limits - they are ignored anyway. 3: Only give the Highway Agencies ten Traffic Cones so that we don't see 15 miles of traffic cones to reduce traffic to one lane in order to repair a bridge that is the width of a car. 4: Ban condesending signs - '50mph Speed Limit through roadworks is for your safety' is the most iirritating, only narrowly beating 'Delays Possible for next 3 years'. 5: Insist that the Highways Agencies engage more than one person to work on the 20 mile stretch of carriageway widening, thus reducing the time from 4 years to a few months to actually complete the work. 6: Impose 20mph speed limits in all built up areas and 10mph in housing estates. Anyone breaking these limits is immediately banned for 5 years. 7: Have street lights on all motorways 8: The Spanish have a fantastic public transport system, buses and trains run on time and you don't need to take out a bank loan to use them. A 30 mile journey will cost you little more than 2 euros. In this country, you will be lucky to get half a mile for that price. Public transport in the UK needs to be an affordable alternative to the car - which it isn't at the moment. |

Lorries should not be allowed to over take on duel carriage ways or two lane motorways. there limited so why over take on a hill that takes them 3 miles too pass the lorry in front.
also road tax for foreign lorries as is done by the swiss and austrians. parking dispensation for van driivers working in city centers.able to park during the day in permit holder bays. better still people who have paid for permits should have a second one where people doing work can display that permit. its done in certain areas in aberdeen |
