Safe Speed Forums

I drive this road every day, aveage speed over that section in rush hour is about 35ph. As usual, off peak drivers, when little traffic around will pay the price.
The road is too busy, too many trucks heading for the ports, very short slip roads, sun in the face on clear winters days. The police know this, I know a few of them. Unbelievable!

I emailed the local paper, but got no response.
If anyone thinks the crashes on the A14 will be reduced by SPECS then they are naive in the extreme.
The entire road from Brampton Huts on the A1/A14 intersection to the M11/A14 interchange at Cambridge is a real example of bad road engineering. As has been said above, most accidents occur at peak times when average speeds are very low and are due to traffic density, too many intersections and on-off ramps, the change from 2 to 3 lanes when going west just after the joining of the A14 and M11 combined with the crematorium exit, the Fen Drayton exit and the Bar Hill (Tesco's) exit. Going East the road signing and layout is a bit off after the Bar Hill on-ramp with the A14 exit to the left anfd the Fen Drayton exit all close and not too well signed feeder lanes. The entire road needs to be re-engineered, at least 2 on-off ramps closed on that stretch and exits made wider and longer to avoid queing on the main A14, especially at the St.Ives exit, but really at all of the others as well.
Still, speed cameras will solve all that, or so we are told by the idiots.
