Highway to hell

HIGHWAYS england is correct that there are fewer collisions and injuries in its smart motorway refuges than on the hard shoulder.

Of course there are, because there are so few of them!

a more accurate figure would be the number of collisions and injuries in running lanes caused by vehicle failures, leaving drivers with nowhere safe to go.

I AM really not surprised that the

£320 million congestion scheme has in many cases made traffic worse outside commuter times (Mail).

During the four days that traffic lights on a busy local roundabout were broken, the traffic flowed freely without any problems.

On the fifth day, when the lights were back in working order, the queues and snarlups returned.
