Re: A47 North Tuddenham to Easton dualling
Seems reasonable enough - things like this are safety schemes more than capacity schemes in my eyes. Having roads alternate between S2 and D2 every few miles is nonsense, consistency is key.

I hope they're going to refine the designs for entry points at roundabouts - the roads all met the dumbbell roundabouts at hard right angles when I looked at the consultation paperwork, and they still do now - even the embankment lines follow the right angle corners. Needs work!

"We've discovered the Dutch do tight entry design into roundabouts, usually 85 to 90 degrees, look how competently we've replicated it.

This well illustrated study shows the pitfalls of crap entry angles: https://www.ltrc.lsu.edu/ltc_13/pdf/pre ... TC2013.pdf
Will we ever learn this in the UK?
