Motorway matrix signs... slowing all road traffic down to 40mph, for an  accident, that was cleared the previous day.... ?!

 

Motorways restricted to 50mph and 2 lanes, for several miles, due to road works, where the only person present is the Traffic Management employee -asleep in the truck.. 

 

Yes, I think that's the smell of heated urine..

As a worker in the night time economy, it irks me somewhat to see the matrix signs instructing me to slow down because of congestion ahead, on an empty motorway at 3am! And don't get me started about those lane closures/speed restrictions where there are allegedly men working! 🤬

You have just reminded me of the M48 in South Wales.  It’s is always a 50mph motorway.  Permanently.  It is a lovely quiet motorway as the new Severn bridge and new motorway were opened in 1993 which are far more convenient for most journeys.  If I ever go to Chepstow from my house I drive along the full 12 miles of it at 50.  It seems to take weeks.
