And for clarity, the BBC appear to be offering people the opportunity to ask stakeholders a question in 140 characters or less, rather than asking for people's input.

I'm not sure that this latest fad actually works. Just because the majority are thick, it doesn't make you intelligent.

Once again useless attempts to make the "dangerous" A34 safer. linkHow 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??

Everything you say is correct , but it doesn't allow highly paid consultants to forward plans on how to "invest" millions of tax payers money on " improvements " . No road is dangerous , after all it is a stretch of tarmac going from A to B , it is the prats who are allowed to propel a couple of tons of metal at speed with no thought of the consequences.
