Weren’t “smart” motorways originally just supposed to be automatic detection of traffic to apply temporary speed limits and reduce traffic? When did the ‘while we’re at it turn the hard shoulder into an extra lane to save the cost of expanding’ plan get tacked on?
My choice of fancy dress costume is going to be very different if I’m expecting it to be orgy-appropriate
Love me Baron, love me spice, 'ate Fremen, not racist, just don’t like 'em
You only inconvenienced one person who doesn’t know how to set their client to view posts the way they actually want to see them, don’t worry!
