Popular Post LennyW Posted July 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2020 I came down 304 on Sunday, the road has a lot of ruts in the left lanes from heavy trucks, they can easily catch people out, some parts really bad, throw in the rain and generally inept drivers and there will be accidents for sure! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overherebc Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 One poster mentioned ruts from heavy vehicles. If the rut has a couple of mm of water in it the tyre will aquaplane and every driver here knows the instant response is to grab a big handful of steering and slam your foot on the brake and, especially in a pick-up, without touching the clutch pedal. ????????

The pictures in the OP show concrete road. If I understand the meaning of ruts correctly, they are only in asphalt roads. Near where I live they have widened road #36 and made it all concrete, so no ruds, but now they have big signs every 1 km or so on the straight patches " slippery when wet " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprq Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 8 lanes?! I wonder if any road in the whole UK has 8 lanes. Certainly not outside of motorways. What the hell are they for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
