Barrier creamed

As a regular M4 motorist I'm intrigued that the powers that be are replacing steel barriers with concrete ones, as the steel ones are reaching the "end of their lives." Concrete ones are supposed to require...

Whoopee cushions

Attached are pictures of some incredibly bad speed cushions in Cardiff. I think they exemplify the type of badly maintained humps about which you rightly complain each week. Several cars passed very close...

Bust stops

I travel widely in West Dorset and East Devon and over the last few months the authorities have spent an enormous amount of money adjusting pavements and then painting bright yellow 'Bus Stop' signs on...
