A420- Oxford -Swindon

[x1m]

This road is a mixture of 50 and 60, single and dual carriageway (infuriating change of limits, should be 60 imo). Driving along in a 50 single, when it changes to a dual carriageway, with no change of limit sign. Does the dual part naturally turn it into nsl (70)? And when it returns to a single afterwards, does it remain at nsl, or return into a 50(no limit changes again)?

Also, anybody know an A road with a higher density of those fucking yellow boxes?

how many are there now, its a nightmare now

It's a terrible road sometimes. Othertimes it's great for a drive.

Sadly there are also a lot of fatal accidents on an alarming basis.

IIRC if there are no 50 repeaters, then it drops to a 30 should the lampposts be less than 200 yards apart? Lampposts further than 200 yards apart and no repeaters = NSL?

Nightmare tbh.

Where abouts is this section of dual carriageway? I can't think of any along there that are 50 limits

[Fidgits]

yeah, the 420 is awful...


Forget about raising the limits, around here (wilts) they are dropping all the NSL roads down to 50 & 40 limits...

(I'm coutning the days until the yellow boxes suddenly appear)

Once again mess around with low limits and profitable enforcement rather than use engineering measures to make the roads safe.

It's a national disgrace that the highways agency cries poverty when we all know how much of the taxes on cars/fuel etc. get spent on the roads.

Even more annoying when you consider all the things this government squanders (or wants to squander) the money on!

How can the scamerati justify this? Go on - I know you're out there!
