Delays on A63 in Hull due to broken down car

“Totally agree with the comment about speedy removal of vehicles. If it had been in France or Germany the offending vehicle would have been swiftly removed. We have given up on "managing" our road network. In a similar vain, I was on the M1 yesterday in Derbyshire. The overhead gantries showed "delays J29A to J28" No mention of what or how long, no idea whether it was a major incident or normal rush hour 10 min delay. Took nearly 1 hour, then about 200 metres from the incident the gantry showed "Lanes 2& 3 shut" with arrow telling all traffic to move to 1 lane. About 100 metres (ie 100m from the incident) another sign said "incident - use hard shoulder. Turned out to be a broken down lorry in the MIDDLE lane which had been there for approx 1- 1.5 hours already , with no sign of recovery or breakdown vehicle. Absolutely no traffic management- all this expensive kit (messsage gantries etc ) but no meaningful info on them. Useless.”

“"...because of a car engine on the road."

You'd think the owner might have noticed the loss.”

“Someone with some degree of authority should be able to organise an emergency system for removing breakdowns and accidents very quickly from the scene on the main arterial roads into Hull. If this is not done Hull will come eventually come to a stop. Any company wanting to build a factory and provide jobs particularly east of the River Hull would surely think very hard about the local road system and they way it is managed.”
