Hi guys.
I thought i'd just put this idea out to people and see if anyone else has any views or comments, particularly those living in the area.
I live 5 minutes from Junction 30 on the M1, and my Girlfriend currently lives a few miles from Junction24. So we both make the trip quite often between the 2 junctions.
However, as locals and those who travel through the area will know all too well, the M1 widening going off between junction 25 and 28 in both directions is causing chaos to the traffic conditions with a 50mph speed limit for some 20 miles of motorway or more.
The point of this thread however is to address the issue of the number of accidents i've spotted in the area over the last couple of months. Over a period of 10 days i travelled up or down the area no less than 5 times and on 5 out of 5 occasions there was an accident on the roads causing chaos. One completely closed the road between junction 26 and 25 south. One closed the road at 27 with queues back to 29A (the new junction). One caused tailbacks as far as the M18 and another appeared to do similar (though it was southbound as i travelled north.
Since then my much better half has had to come off the M1 early on 2 occasions and been delayed on 2 more by accidents.
WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS STRETCH OF ROAD?
