About This Blog

Hi All...

Welcome to my new blog and here's an upshot of what it's all about.

I'm a regular driver and britains roads are good but is so much that could be improved to keep them flowing more smoothly. So I'll be posting a variety of things.

1. Real Speed Camera Limits - Although a camera might be on a road that has a 50mph speed limit for example, the reality is that the camera limit, before it flashes, will be a lot higher. I want this to be a space to let people know what those real speed limits are. This isn't to help people break the law. This basically serves as an avenue so people realise they don't have to slam on the brakes when approaching the camera's

2. Bottlenecks - Bottlenecks are the bain of most drivers and I can think of a few where there will always be traffic simply because of the existence of that bottleneck. I hope we can identify how stupid these are and maybe get the roads and highyways agencies to do something about it to get traffic flowing again.

3. Traffic Lights - Traffic lights don't stay green for long enough. The slowest portion of a traffic light turning green is the beginning because cars need time to get off the brake and accelerate away. Change the light back too quickly and not enough cars have got through and you've developed a backlog of traffic that doesn't need to be there. Hopefully if we point them out maybe we can get something done about them!

4. Education - Last but not least I hope we can educate speedy drivers that driving too close is one of the main causes of jams on motorways! Keep your distance and see the road further ahead and you'll have less need to brake violently. Keeping your distance makes driving so much more relaxing and enjoyable!

That's it for now. I may include other aspects as time goes on but this is my starting point. I hope you find this blog helpful!
