My long drive to work is made just a little more stressful each day by the 12Km section of roadwords. Until November 2010 the motorway will be transformed into a slow motion precision driving experiment for all motorists.The speed limit is set to 80Km/hour and two ultra thin lanes have been created with a tough and threatening concrete barrier on the left. To add to the challenge a mobile speed camera is occasionally positioned somewhere en route and breaking the speed limit as the above sign indicates, can cause you to lose your license.
The number is quite daunting but the other day I found a remarkable fact: this is a shared number, all other roadworks in Vaud Canton and maybe even further away share this same number! What a con.
Still I would not recommend speeding, the lanes are to within a few centimetres of the width of a wide car as witnessed the other day as a VW Passat edged past with his rear left bumper dragging along the ground after a collision with the left concrete barrier
