North bound it's made worse by people coming off to the roundabout then coming back onto the bridge, trying to gain a few car positions.

There’s loads of sections of motorway with junctions similar distance apart that cause nowhere near as many issues. Don't know about that - you don't often see 4 lanes (A90 and M9 Spur) have to squeeze down to 2, only for another lane (Queensferry Roundabout) then get squeezed in to the same 2 lanes without some sort of congestion. Plenty of close junctions like that, especially in the south of England, but they all have congestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 People slowing down for tunnels. There's tunnels on the motorway near here in a 2 lane 50 mph bit that's always busy. There's a sizeable contingent of people that slow down to forty on entering the tunnel (steady), where there's no overtaking then speed up at the other end. You've a choice of waiting behind them or getting pinnedvin the outside lane as they undertake. Is there some sort of turbulence /drag effect that only impacts imbeciles? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think people should slow down in car parks? Given the number of pedestrians wandering around without paying attention and muppets just reversing out of spaces I'd say this is one place you should probably slow down a bit. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See also people slowing down for speed cameras. You can be happily driving along, everyone is at or below the speed limit then some twat slows down because they think they have to be 20 or 30km/hr under the actual speed limit and it causes everyone behind to slow right down as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's poor design, people not knowing how to merge or just poor driving that causes it. I always thought same thing and I'm sure it exacerbates the queue. But I went across at lunchtime and the queue began before the first tower on the bridge, some arseholes obviously can't maintain 70mph on a straight and contained section of the motorway. The deck should flip you into the forth if you allow more than 3 car lengths between you and the car in front of don't maintain 60mph. But seriously if you can't drive on the QX you shouldn't be driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
