We are told that there will be a ban on ICE vehicles in just 10 years time..... so the bulk of the noise issue will just have been taken care of by say 2035?
If the bright sparks at English Heritage have even considered this I would be amazed. anonymous said:

Surely that's precisely what they DO want, they hate the fact that motorists get a free view as they slow down along that road for that exact purpose – and this is IMO what causes at least as much of the congestion there as the pinch from two lanes to one. They want to hide it so that you'll have to pay to see it. Saleen836 said:

Only a short one at approx 105m but long enough to enjoy the V8 along with supercharger whine

I remember seeing the stones up close and touching them.
How much is it now to stand at a fence keeping you many many metres away? Seems pointless to me.
It's not cheap - went today on the early morning guided tour. £50 a head How much is it now to stand at a fence keeping you many many metres away? Seems pointless to me.

Not sure it would improve traffic flow though, it’s a real pinch point, I think the desire is to eventually have dual carriageway from Amesbury to Exeter
Perfect if they could do that, but I suspect we'll develop Star Trek style beaming technology quicker than upgrading it all to dual carriageway.Saleen836 said:

On a recent drive out down to West Bay I found a new route home which involves a tunnel!

Beaminster Tunnel ?

Andddd progress has stopped again. The anti-progress mob have managed to drag it to the high court, and won. Millions more hours of productivity lost in the jams along there, not to mention the tax payers money disappearing down the drains.
The govt should be embarrassed; clearly an elementary mistake has been made somewhere.

I think the rubber necking is vastly over estimated, people only “stop” to see it because they’re stuck in traffic caused by the constant single/dual carriageway changes. Stuff a tunnel, find a better route for the road to the south west and use the money to build a proper road
