Re: Road works speed limits

I believe that many of the 50's are the result of local lobbying. It's an easy process and no thought or rational decisions needed.

Re: Road works speed limits

Re: Can anyone advise please? France

I suspect it's one of those legacy regulations that date back to when most cars had easily replaceable bulbs. It's been overtaken by events rather. I go to France quite regularly and carry one of those little spare bulb kits (not sure whether any of them actually fit the Saab Aero ... )

Re: Hazard warning sign on Dual Carriageway

Good idea, Johyn. I fear I am being rather constructive about route to and from shops. On Friday it was round the corner to the farm shop and back via the Berkshire Downs.

Re: Hazard warning sign on Dual Carriageway

Basically, it means the new road crosses a public footpath and they didn't have the sense/money to install an underpass or footbridge I think Angus is right on this. You get quite a number of "historic" footpaths (which very few people use) crossing main roads. You might get the odd deter...
