I am to a degree sympathetic as I vividly remember arriving back at Luton airport in the early hours , religiously following the diversion signs only to arrive back at the airport. At this point common sense kicked in so I ignored their signs and took a logical route.
These sort of incidents only lend credence to retesting the over 50's which will reduce the traffic volumes and put public transport under more pressure.

Yes, wouldn't disagree. I liked the line taken the Highways Agency saying they did this in consultation with the Local Authority. Presumably that means WBC whose very own traffic signage has been criticised and found wanting by the courts!

It is becoming increasingly difficult to navigate places these days.
