Ah, so it was all the drivers fault. Given the undoubted expert advice freely offered here, one might indeed question why the Highways Agency even bothered to sign the diversion at all. The work involved in planning and execution is a significant cost; which could be avoided if only the drivers took heed of sound advice.

But they did sign it, and publicize it, and out of the thousands that have used the diversion, one has complained about getting lost. Not science is it.
