There's a 13% rise in drivers driving the wrong way on #motorways in #England - 872 incidents in last 12 months (102 more than last year).

Some are blamed on DUI, others on drivers being distracted by navigation devices (there's usually two large no entry signs at the end of an exit slip road; how on earth are people not noticing these?).

BBC News - New smart motorway plans being scrapped

Well overdue.
A mad idea in the first place.
Nobody knows how to use them properly, they don't appear to have any effect on congestion. And they feel dangerous.

There now needs to be a vigorous campaign to restore the hard shoulders.
They are still there. It's just lines and signage.

BBC News - Ford launches hands-free driving on UK motorways

Idiotic and irresponsible #UK #government, claiming to be at the "forefront of #innovation", allows hands-free driving on "certain #motorways" for an expensive Ford #car. Terrible in so many ways- a disaster waiting to happen. I would not want to be on those motorways

The former Washington Street Public School building in Glasgow, built in the late 1880s, overshadowed by the elevated Anderston on-ramp to the Kingston Bridge, built in 1970.

Imagine yourself, #driving in the #latenight hours on some Japanese highway, with the company of some FM radio station. Well, that's what “ＲＥＴＲＯＦＵＴＵＲＩＳＴＡ” is all about.
