Hi all
I'm going to switch to 100% road tonight, to test out a new route.
Part of that involves a dual carriageway, which is about 0.5 miles and has two sets of lights. I will naturally join this in the left lane.
This is a notorious black spot for traffic as the two lanes converge into one at the end of the 0.5 miles - and the traffic is likely to be at a standstill as far as two thirds back from the point of convergence.
If this happens, and there is no clear route past the cars on the left hand side, what course of action should I take?
I am concerned about getting out to the right hand side - partly because the dual carriageway element means that space may still be at a premium and it might be a difficult manoeuvre. Also, as the lane converges, traffic picks up again, and I may find myself stranded in the middle of the road.
I want to do the safe and considerate thing - what would you do?
Thanks
