I know it’s allegedl for ”traffic calming”, but why do the Canoeing halfwit councils never cut the hedges properly at bloody roundabouts? As I approach I can see traffic approaching from the right, but if it’s a Canoeing Tailgate McNoIndicate and not indicating then I have no idea of what direction it’s going to take (and even if it indicates it’s a lottery), because of the height of our cars traffic disappears completely and one has to almost stop before gingerly entering the roundabout.
Every other Canoeing car is BIGGER so it can see over the poxy hedge so what’s the Canoeing point, the councils don’t fill in the potholes so they must have plenty of time for hedge trimming, or better still dig dig the Canoeing useless things up.

Out here in the boondocks we have this problem at almost every B road junction
I like seeing nature springing up everywhere but I wish they’d just trim the hedges/cow parsley/nettles at the junctions
In some places I am halfway across the road before I can see, the suv or van or truck that i pull out in front of must think
I’m blind but like you say they do not realise how low we are😧

This is a nightmare in the 5. Council rant time.
Ok so 20 limits. Whack 'em in front of schools, hospitals, cool. Brighton be like "herpa derpa doo, 20 for you, and 20 for you, 20 for everyone!"
I mean come on, research has indicated that doing this doesn't reduce accidents ffs. Edward Street in Brighton is a quality example. Technically a dual carriageway as there's a raised pavement between traffic. 20 limit, and by making it a 20 limit meant they also took the speed camera away, so now everyone just goes quicker there. Durrrrrr.
Also they've got an average speed camera between the marina and the pier. Again herp derp, not much traffic or many pedestrians there. Would have been so much better put between the two piers, where drunk people cross the roads like Frogger in the evenings.
They've got a budget, and they're using it. But F me, give me the budget, I've got more common sense to do it right than these asshats.
And don't even get me started on the potholes and bumps around here. Holy ballsack it's bad sometimes.

Minneapolis just announced a series of road closures until 2021, whilst they rebuild some of the motorway infrastructure. I swear they're just trying to make my commute worse.

Christ, you often see signs like "This road will be closed until *one week's time* for repairs", not "This road will be closed for three years, soz". |

Tell them a pervert is hiding in the bush looking at young girls.
They soon cut it down.

The Prius driving blimps at City Hall here in Lincoln have even built a feckin' black WALL either side of the A46 Carholme roundabout !
Its six feet tall and twenty yards long and completely obliterates the view from the right when slowing from 70 to negotiate the roundabout....dangerous !
Verges are being left deliberately high and the prarrie canoe road surfaces cheaply patched here and there in an effort to retain the major cycle race for 'the City'.....
