As somebody just said, why not add dual carriageway to the petition as they also do not have a hard shoulder.

A1 dual carriageway Sandy Beds, busy? Under 25,000 vehicles daily in 2019.
M1 Beds,same year…Over 143,000…

Notice any difference?
6 times as much traffic, even with an extra lane it is a lot busier, and less easy to change lanes.

So a better quality of road going virtually in the same direction attracts more vehicles? :open_mouth:
Who’d have thought it eh?.
Ok so let’s just ban dual carriageway where there are no superior route alternatives going virtually parallel.
What’s your point exactly? :unamused:
