I travel into London daily on the M1, its not an easy journey and it definitely isn't a short one. On a couple of occasions in the last week traffic has been brought to a stand still by the electric signs, Normally it goes 'Queue Ahead', then the speed drops to '60' then '40' and then you hit the queue.
Everyone of these queues that I have been caught in over the last week has immediately started moving again with free flowing traffic when it passes a sign saying end. No obstruction, no incident, no police nothing. The signs appear to slow the traffic creating the queue.
Is this some new insidious conspiracy to make motorists burn more fuel so they have to buy more and the government maximises tax. Or am I being paranoid?
