In the layby at Aspatria as you leave the town towards Wigton, just over the brow of a hill in the 30 mph zone - trying to catch motorists as they speed up towards the NSL stretch. Also in Waverton in a layby round the bend a... |

| I've lived in the area for the last 15 years. I've heard of at least 6 fatal RTCs in that time and dozens of serious RTCs. I can understand why the county highways are trying to make the road safer, however, I fear they're trying to crack a walnut with a sledgehammer. |

Can't help you with your query, my patch is the land that time forgot, we have no lighting, cameras or gantries. Just the old central wickets, the occasional overhead matrix and a few pictogram matrices.  |

| It feels totally contrary to use the hard shoulder if you have been driving for many years. Trucks don't move over into it. They sit in the usual lane.

| I am sure that you are totally correct about this. Do you co-operate with other Government agencies, for example, the partner organisations within the SCPs? :wink: I believe it's a silent partnership for the purposes of advertising the safety aspect. We have nothing to do with the running of the ca... |
