Car overturns in horror smash
Car overturns in horror smash as region hit by flash floods and torrential rain
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the collision – which appears to have taken place in a partially submerged road. The cause of the crash is not known.

so, drivers, the traffic
so, drivers, the traffic engineers have, at your behest, carved up the environment for about 60 years to try to facilitate your driving, to “sort the traffic”. The result you now say is ‘confusing’?
He made reference to changes on the roads around Broad Marsh. “If you have not driven in a while you have to familiarise again with the signs,” he added. “Nottingham is very confusing sometimes. As long as it is not just a revenue-making scheme, I am fine with it.”

People do seem to have this misplaced belief that the piece of road outside their house/garden somehow belongs to them…But this story was a little different in that I see that the car was parked on her *illegal* driveway. For fifteen minutes. By the estate agent working for her landlord.
TIFTFY
as always when it’s cars, things escalate quickly. This looks like another lost front garden pressed into service for parking.

£15m spent and drivers not happy/satisfied – never will be, never can be.

every council blinkered, every police force corrupt, traffic engineers incompetent, every enforcement scheme only about the fines – thank goodness for drivers who always know better than the experts.
Tell you what Mr Bull, the M32 – there’s an example of something cutting the city in two.

Watch the Ring footage on
Watch the Ring footage on this. Check the little puff of smoke around 50s ? where the idiot crashes it, just out of sight.
Looks ideal for people who just jump in the car to go everywhere. Definitely a rural location.Ah – bit more detail and this starts to seem more reasonable. Looking on streetview it’s certain that there will be periods – possibly extended – of no vehicular access at all? for some and maybe even literally no access at times? The current road is a single lane between hedgebanks.
I still don’t quite understand what’s intended but presumably they’ve forced the developer to add a footpath here where none was before. That looks reasonable at that location. This lane also looks like an ideal candidate for filtered permeability at one end. Bet that would enrage also!
In general here in Edinburgh it seems the system allows (big) developments with apparently precious little considerations of transport. Yes I know they do officially… but some new ones don’t seem to fit well with public transport and there’s certainly nothing for active transport. So we’re still building in car dependency. And that’s around a major urban area. Particular pains are that long-used access links are handed to developers – or quiet link roads will have traffic volumes hugely increased. Some potential traffic free routes – decades in planning – can then become impossible as the council sells the land off / permits development in the way.
“That’s a dangerous /busy
“That’s a dangerous /busy /fast road / tricky junction/a lot of accidents there/ the cars go really fast down there” Yep, nothing about driving to the conditions, or too many cars, car reliance and crap driving.

Will it catch the two idiots out the back of me who have it permanently jacked up to 11 where like bikes you can hear their noise inside your house. I don’t see how driving like that is safe. They’ve even got a child now – poor little mite.
