Last night on the M5 ( Junc 11A ) there was a tail-back to J12 (and you can't see it till it is too late!). No roadworks signs other than the two lanes blocked ones and somehow I failed to see any lit-up electronic ones (we have two new ones un-used yet just on that stretch.) However I noticed that the huge blue sign with blah blah pointing left had a monster yellow sign saying road closed over the "onward" direction list of towns. Not one you would nail for an accident.

Most people thought it was for an accident. and there was one, - no surprise with 2/3;s of the carraigeway contricted, no warnings the day/week before so all your rush hour traffic oblivious of the trouble ahead..

With the evidence, I suspect we had a hit and run case of re-surfacing.
AND with the tarmac creeping up the other side and gathering in a bump just past the junction (a known phenomenon, no known cure, but it only takes three years!) I await the next sporadic bout of cone densation.

Has any one else noticed these attacks?
