I've been caught out a couple of times now with the car in front suddenly swerving to go back in the opposite direction. The rules are there are no rules. It's everyone for themselves.

The prom is nothing like a motorway. Nor is it meant to be. It's a poor thing for all the money it's cost though. I wouldn't compare it to an African motorway. I reckon it could have been two things. A cheap and cheerful resurfacing or a thing that cost a fortune but was a thing of beauty. Sadly we got neither. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This squiggly round most definitely needs to come with a manual 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t normally expect people to perform them but you have to be aware of the possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think looking at earlier plans the roundels were more ornamental with little walls or something then they ran out of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
