136 miles of cash cropping

so what happens when you get the flat cap sunday drivers driving at 45mph on the single carriageway parts or the caravans that plague the area doing 30mph. frustration and tailbacks that what and more accidents due to people being scared to do a proper overtake. this is nothing but a revenue gatherer :mad:

Similar situation down here on the A14 between Cambridge & Huntingdon. Average speed cameras were installed in a bid to cut down on accidents, but whenever you hear of problems on the A14, 9 times out of 10, it'll be on this section.

They replaced fixed cameras, but IMHO, its made no difference. There's a lot of slow moving vehicles, lorries, tractors caravan's etc, people just get frustrated or bunch up & a lapse in concentration causes the accidents on this stretch of road.

I loathe it

the thing is if you gridlock the A9 after Perth you gridlock the M90 northbound, the A90 west bound and the A85 east bound as well due to them all merging at Perth. the public will get pizzed off so the letters will start to drop threw MSP's letterboxes demanding something be done :-)

Why not just make the road bigger and safer? But no, the Nanny state must step in and ruin it for every one again.

Re: 136 miles of cash cropping
 

they plan to do that but wont be complete till about 2025 i think. once they gather all the revenue from the speeding then the new road should be made of gold.

so now the procliamers got the song right for the A9 (well the pace lol)

It has been said before and I'm sure it will be said a further million times, but the problem is speed. Not excessive speed, but too little of it. Long distance driving takes it's toll, a momentary lapse in concentration and the car in front of you is now buried in your chest because you assumed he'd be doing more than 35/40 in a national.
