overherebc 18,713 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 post Share on other sites

sprq 1,248 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 post Share on other sites
