For the love of god will they open the A11 already
Discussion
Several times lately I've had to rumble along there in a stream of stop-start cars all concertina-ing up behind a member of the mumsnet 39.999 brigade, proudly creating mayhem.
FFS surely they can upgrade to 50 for these last few weeks to save us from these imbeciles??? I'm sure the great Naarfolk Slowster contingent goes out there just for a drive to see how much delay they can cause.
And.... relax

For months people have been happily rolling along at a little more than 40 mph and not dying however in the last 2 weeks the progress has rapidly dropped to 39.9999 mph FFS surely they can upgrade to 50 for these last few weeks to save us from these imbeciles???

What cause the change I hear you ask??
A safety Camera Van parked on the Brandon to Bury St Edmunds bridge (close to centre parks) right on top of the A11.
Exactly the same times and frequency as they used to sit in the Layby's thro Eleveden so you've been warned and now you know why.

Cheers for the heads up. Was it the one that's usually parked up on the Snetterton bypass? Bloody nuisance they are. What cause the change I hear you ask??

If those morons at the Norfolk scamming agency are still claiming to only collect the money from the roads with a proven track record of crashes, how do they justify scamming on a brand new road? Obviously their entire operation is a scam so breaks in the tissue of justifications are easy to find, just this one is glaring.
I was asking Edwards (former mouthpiece of the racket) ages ago when they were operating on the brand new dualled Snetterton bit how this could be, and furthermore if they're claiming the road was dangerous (by definition else they wouldn't be there) he never came back with anything sensible. My point was that this road was designed with all that is known about road safety in mind, and if on opening it's declared dangerous WTF is being done about it?
Same goes for this new bit.

December was the timeline I thought, went along it yesterday going north and they had one lane open on each side - traffic was doing 50 all the way along.
Coming back there seemed to be a massive problem so I went out through Ingham and on to the A14 at Bury, perhaps there was a crash on the a11?
I know "someone" who may have hooned it down there late at night - it was a nice drive (apparently) lol

You know that about 300 feet of the new dual carriageway section is in Norfolk - rest is in Suffolk?Suffolk have already be putting a camera van on the Eleveden/Centre Parcs bridge outside of commuting hours (no point inside commuting hours because it crawls along at 40)
You be hard pushed to find room to park a camera van on it going in Cambridge direction because of the slip road to the Elveden Village (although heading in the Norwich direction there is a hard standing just after it crosses the boarder so I'm betting that's going to become a favorite spot for the Norfolk camera van)

One thing the lying b-stards is good at is ???????
Not crashing the economy down an abyss so deep nobody ever sees it again?Went up and down the a11 yesterday and it was looking pretty much ready to roll. Lovely looking bit of road. Saw the scam van collecting on the thickthorn roundabout from Norwich bound victims. I think there must be an inappropriate 40 there ker-ching.

They always said December 2014.
I hope the southbound queuing at the Barton Mills roundabout is sorted by then, otherwise what's the point?Gassing Station | East Anglia | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
