forgot to say while im on here
other night on a local trip I do regular, big 4 way junction right-
for some reason the streetlights, and the traffic lights controlling it are out,
me being a sad fuck sat and watched the junction for a few minutes
you know what, a road that is 50mph, slowed to 10-15 as people negotiated with the other drivers, they couldnt see their faces as it was dark,l so they must have been judging speed,
it looked like a fucking video of loads of drivers that had just passed the test that day- immaculate
so, we put build outs, humps, chicanes, fucking bollards shaped as children and all that to make 20 zones-----and what happens? they speed up tremendously to get through it all,
take a potentially lethal 50 mph road, turn off the lights and everyone drives like they did first day they passed.! incredible
