Signs of madness
It seems we have a competition for the most out-of-place automatic signs. ‘I too remember the M1 junction 28 sign saying there were problems on the M25,’ says Roger Audley at Nottinghamshire County Council.
‘However, this has been bettered by information at junction 34 in Sheffield that the M20 in Kent was closed from junctions 11 to 12.
‘Timely notification of this might be useful for the odd continental traveller, but not commuters in South Yorkshire 240 miles away.’
It depends if you are going to work via south London. And Fran Paterson at Peterborough City council writes: ‘These messages also appear on the M6 at Coventry. When the M25 is blocked, heavy lorries from Scotland and Liverpool heading for the east coast cut across the M10 at Hatfield, or to the M11 and A10 via the A14 at Northampton.’
So if your quiet commuter road this morning was jammed with trucks on their way to Poland, blame technology.
