Road closures and road works.
This morning on my way to work there were 2 road closures (digging holes) and both diversions had temporary traffic lights and road works on them..it was effin chaotic.
I know that there is a lot of infrastructure upgrading taking place to gas and water pipes, but when a relatively small area is grid locked by the closeness of work being carried out, there must be better planning of when the work takes place. There were two sets of temporary traffic light nearer to my office, didn't cause too much concern as I was losing the will to come to work, but being a true professional I managed it.
RANT OVER!

It's been happening here for the past three or four months. I wish I had shares in the company that makes the "ROAD CLOSED" signs.

I missed a trick with the temporary traffic light business.

RANT from me. Two lorries playing bumper cars on the M6. Blocked two lanes. Absolutely chaotic trying to get back from Walsall earlier

My pet hate is when a lorry traveling at 60mph is being overwhelmed by a lorry traveling at 60.00005mph. Why bother? All you're doing is annoying people.
In Germany it's known as Elefantenrennen - an elephant race

Yup. Definitely a pet hate. Causing a backlog as they hog two lanes. At least they’re moving though.
