Things that have annoyed me today

1. People slowing down to 20mph when going past a speed camera on a 30mph road.
2. People going down motorway slip roads at 50mph.
3. The traffic light sequencing on the road into Cheltenham by the new cinema.

That is all.

  1. Ha ha! Um, yes. You could say that.

    The traffic light thing is an ongoing concern. Who can I complain to? And will they care? It’s just that it’s all wrong and, really, an idiot could tell them that. Grrr!

  2. If it’s a trunk road, then try the Highways Agency, failing that Gloucestershire County Highways. Someone somewhere will have a timing sheet (Traditionally “sheet 141”, but more commonly “T500” nowadays). When you say “sequencing”, I take it you mean the order that the whole lot runs?

    And from the point of view of a “Transport Professional” (unecessary?) I’ll also direct you to this :p

  3. Well, that’s a fairly comprehensive answer, thanks πŸ™‚

    Yes, that’s what I mean. It’s just that the order the whole lot runs totally impedes the flow of the traffic.

    It really is the little things that niggle the most… πŸ™‚

  4. I alternate between being infuriated by such things and thinking there’s more important things to worry about.

    (An idiot is telling them?)

  5. I’m always in a hurry when there are useless drivers in front of me fannying about. Doing 50 on a slip road is downright dangerous and I hate traffic lights, most of them are unnecessary if you know how to drive. (not that I’m an impatient old git or anything!)

  6. My sis lives just along from there, has to go through those lights whenever she leaves her home pretty much. They are a pain in the proverbials.
