Make all B Roads one way?
Discussion
Was having a stella fueled chat with a few friends the other night and i feel it could have been a little more productive with some input from someone more inteligent.
Basically - Would it be possible, at all, to make all B roads one way? - would we have the same access to areas if we cleverly routed traffic to enable this?
The advantages would be;
Safer
Less chance of hold ups due to blockages
more fun for hooning
Is it do-able? downsides?

Right ok, maybe try thinking about this a little more first Basically - Would it be possible, at all, to make all B roads one way? - would we have the same access to areas if we cleverly routed traffic to enable this?

Downsides
It might make a round trip to some places about 40 miles instead of a mile.
Its an epically stupid idea that could only be thought up by some idiot who has never been outside the southeast of England and believes that everywhere is exactly same as that crowded nasty little corner of the coutry.
It would create huge problems for huge areas of the country.
You are either a retard or a governement transport advisor

"just popping out to get milk, see you in 2 hours"
"but the shop is only 3 miles away!"
"yes, but I have to go via 6 other villages to find the only b road pointing back in the direction of our house"
"who's crazy idea was this?"
"some guy on Pistonheads, he'd been drinking on the day he became prime minister and really should have thought this one through"

Twas my first thought. I think we can safely assume the OP lives in a smelly town and views country b-roads as his private domain.It would create huge problems for huge areas of the country.

lol come on.. humour me
Ok then,when you say B roads, do you actually mean B roads and all smaller unclassified roads as well?
What about lanes that end in a dead end? These are not uncommon? Is the solution to air lift the car back to the start again?
What about if I want to go the shop 1/2 down the road in the car. How do I get back?
This is a brilliant idea. Ignore the sensible people on here. A legitimate excuse to indeed be out 3 hours just to a buy a pint of milk, thus leaving the better half looking after the kids... Where I live, b-roads are just for hooning... If I need to 'get anywhere' I use A roads and town roads...

Yes of course, your a retard for coming up with a funny idea down the pub with your mates, then floating on a web site frequented by petrol heads who in the majority like a hoon... Edited by paulmoonraker on Monday 23 May 11:36

excellent.. genuinely laughing out loud at some of the replies
I work in loughton, Essex and spend 3/4 of my daily commute in the twisties, including the famous 'pudding lane' which is supposedly well known for being a killer because of the narrow, sharp bends - see below
I love that road. Apparently the tarmac melted one year and all the cars got stuck (something wrong with the mix).

The guy is just having a laugh or did you not spot that.
Personally I think it’s a great idea if not logistically insane. I have visions of blasting through the Black Mountains without having to worry about on-coming traffic...........great!!
