Once again useless attempts to make the "dangerous" A34 safer. link
How many more times?
It is not the road that is dangerous, it is many of the drivers that use it.
These steps will unfortunately do nothing to decrease the number of crashes on the road.
Not while you have people using mobiles, tailgaters, lack of concentration, often due to tiredness, etc.
The article admits that the two crashes regularly highlighted were both caused by drivers on their mobile phones.
It is an very busy road with an exceptionally large number of HGV's and will therefore, unless completely upgraded to a 3 /4? lane motorway (or the freight is back on a long closed railway line duplicating the route) crashes will unfortunately continue and the current rate.
This would, of course, have to be linked in with a scheme to stop people driving like prats. Unlikely eh??
