    I've read it a few times over the years. It's interesting, but not £40's worth of interesting.

    Was it this thread where the A63 reduced speed limit was discussed? Anyway 40mph limit because the cental reservation barrier has been removed, no work taking place and still two lanes each way.
    Meanwhile over on the A1 I was surprised to see they still have junctions and open bits in the central reservation where the traffic can do 70mph

    The central barriers are down because they're closing the A63 during the night for a few nights, they say it's the most critical work of the whole project.

    That roundabout has caused so much traffic backup for years

    The barriers, and 40 mph restriction, are way past Castle Street on the A63. :emoticon-0138-think

    I know, the road is closed at night to replace the barriers. During the day the traffic is restricted to 40mph because there are no barriers.
    Over on the A1 there are junctions to cross 4 lanes of traffic doing 70mph if you can find a gap in the traffic.

    There was one like that near me, 70mph dual carriageway in both directions with a gap to cross over. It was closed off in the 80's after Theresa May's dad was killed trying to do the turn.

    4/5 Whitefriargate, Hull, Yorkshire HU1 2ET

    The sixth Woolworths store to open in the UK was in Hull on the 4th November 1910. Hull was chosen because of its docks, freight and fishing industries and factories, all employing lots of people. The premises at number 4 and 5 Whitefriargate, formerly Smith’s Bank, were adapted to make a double-fronted store, the building being in a busy part of the city centre.

    I'd be interested to know when they stopped using phone numbers beginning with a1. I have a Hull City Supporters Club postcard (unused), it has the name, address, and phone number of the secretary, and the phone number begins with 1. :emoticon-0138-think
