Driven insane by motorway signs
We’ve been asking for the most irrelevant electronic motorway sign, and this week it’s an M25 special.
‘When I worked in north Yorkshire I used to frequently travel home along the A1(M),’ says Andrew Johnson. ‘I once saw a sign indicating that there were problems on the M25 when I got to the Boroughbridge area. In the three and three-quarter hours that it should take to get to the congestion, it would have cleared,’ he says, optimistically.
‘While travelling on the M4 I saw a sign informing me of congestion on the M25,’ says Ian Reed. Not so ridiculous – except that he was travelling west.
‘I suppose that if I kept going, had an amphibious car and filled up in the middle of oceans, after a journey of nearly 25,000 miles it might just have cleared.’
In our experience of the M25, that’s a bit optimistic.
