Between the A605 and A1 junctions, several laybys are provided on the A14 solely for emergencies. Note the double yellow lines within the layby. A typically muddled, penny-pinching British approach to road building: not enough investment to make what is a hugely important transport artery a proper free-flow highway with appropriate safety features.
