Highways England. Nuff said.
Yesterday a lorry broke down where the M5 Northbound joins the M42. Now being a good driver and due to the absence of a hard shoulder he tucked his lorry into the start of the cones which close off the fast lane (and that's another gripe). So what do the HE do? They have the signs for the preceding 5 miles saying fast lane closed due to obstruction. So everyone gets into the remaining 3 lanes which of course then grind to a halt. Why on earth couldn't they just have a 1 mile warning? It's not like he was causing an obstruction in any case.
