not for the first time it must be said
. I have just driven back from Montreal that took me twice as long as normal and I want to know why.
I have to say in advance that the objective of traffic control in Quebec is to interrupt the flow of traffic as much as possible so there is surely a sponsorship link with the Qc equivalent of Mencap. When they do major road work in the city for instance they offer a diversion and then start work over there too, if the work is at the end of a long road, the warning is at the work NOT at the junction you have to return to.
En tout cas (no hat) back to my puzzlement: this road normally carries traffic traveling at 80 to 90kph (speed limit 70) due to road works two lanes went to one at a certain point and then the average speed dropped to 3kph causing a severe tailback with me being the tail. I remember those motorcycle display teams that would feed across one another without any reduction in speed so why would that not apply here? I can understand a certain drop in speed...but
