HAVING recently been caught up in roadworks on the M1, I was impressed by the way people maintained a 50mph speed throughout the ten-mile stretch and allowed people to change lanes.

I was left wondering if a similar scheme would work on the A64 where the road changes from a dual carriageway to a single lane. A 50mph speed restriction starting about two miles from the lane change and reinforced by average speed cameras might just be enough to relieve pressure at these pinch points.

It shouldn’t cost too much to introduce and it certainly couldn’t make the traffic worse than it is.
