Well said!
And very indicative of the classist attitude of many on here!
Quite what makes your journey more important than theirs?
But the point is, that you seem to have totally missed here, Weepej, NO-ONES journey is any more important than any other persons...which is why motorways or any other road, should NOT be restricted for 24 hours of the day JUST BECAUSE they are either (a) congested, (b) more dangerous or whatever for just a couple of hours of the day. The road network is a 24 hour service and just because certain people only use it or have experience of it, for a couple of hours a day, what makes you think these selfish people should restrict it's use for the full 24 hours, just because people like you may get stuck in traffic jams or whatever, when you happen to be using it?
What's the next bright idea...close it down apart from rush hour periods???
That's exactly my gripe against the traffic light epidemic. Just because councillor brown's wife has trouble getting off her housing estate to take little johnnie to school five mornings a week, the traffic that uses that junction for the other 23 hours of the day, has to suffer waiting in traffic lights when the roads are virtually deserted, just so that Mrs Brown can pull out on to an island or whatever without accelerating over 2000 revs.
