Is there a General Election next year:

I agree with one of the comments, this is 40 years late already.

The £9,000,000 they spent on the roundabout 5 years ago hasn`t helped this.

That change was to allow traffic from the Outer Ring Road to get onto the A64. Yes it snarls up the traffic on the 64, but it stopped traffic going through York to get onto the 64 at other spots.

Maybe they could re-invest that £600,000 they paid to have those `emergency refuge` laybys constructed just past Hopgrove - never used

I've seen them used. After accidents, they pull/shove/push the damaged cars to them in order to get the traffic flowing again. The one near Hazelbush gets used a lot, although thats more down to how dangerous that junction is than anything else. Its one I avoid like the plauge unless its very early or late.
