It's my uncle's misfortune to spend large parts of the week on the highways and byways of the UK.
Nothing irritates him more than so called smart motorway signs.
Example: as seen on a journey home recently
Matrix sign "A520 closed after the A50."
Yeah like right I immediately know where the A520 is.
They've got all the letters and numbers to play with, so what's wrong with "slip road closed at Middleton,"
I tell you - that would fuckin' helpful that's what wrong with it.
You're pootling along and a sign says congestion next junction. Congestion, that sounds mildly irritating but not worth turning off for. As soon get past the "Congestion" sign AND the junction where you could have back tracked; what does the next sign tell you.
Yep; congestion is now "Longgg delays 4 hours". Fuck me tell me what are they thinking.
Bastards.
