downhuman Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Hey guys Annoys me this - now it is 'summer' the councils are chucking stones all over the decent roads with tar to cheaply dress the tarmac. You know, the 20mph skid risk signs, following by PING PING PING and dust everywhere Now, I'm not a fan of a) slowing down to 20mph on a decent a road and covering my immaculate zed in road rash. Is there a way to ascertain which roads are 'benefiting' from this treatment before setting off? Tomorrow I need to head from Haywards Heath, Sussex to Winchester and was hoping for an early morning drive along the A272 Cheers Rob Quote
Humpy Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Not sure if I can answer your question but if your in Winchester then I will keep an eye out for you Ps - the A272 is a great driving road! 1 Quote
Pnthrblkzs Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 Would love it if there was an answer to this. They decided to "treat" the only road into my girlfriends estate a couple of months ago and 3 weeks after my front end respray I now have 1 stone chip on my freshly painted bumper ggggrrrrrr. Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Stone chips are am occupational hazard of driving a Zed, you can either be paranoid or just enjoy driving your Zed Quote
downhuman Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Stone chips are am occupational hazard of driving a Zed, you can either be paranoid or just enjoy driving your Zed Agreed but I'd rather avoid this situation anyway.... Quote
cs2000 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 20mph ! Lol I'm lucky if I ever go above 5 on roads like that. I don't care if its 10 metres or 10 miles. Yeah so I annoy a few people but it keeps me as chip free as I can be so I don't care back ontopic, I don't think you can tell. There will of course be the roadworks signs for a week or so before, but unless you live locally you won't see them. Quote

ioneabee Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 write into your local authority highway department - they will have a list of what and where Quote
Ebized Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 http://westsussex.cd...traffic_tab.htm put in A272 in the search - gives you the planned roadworks, but how reliable I dunno, cos I ain't driven round checking Quote
downhuman Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Cheers guys Did the A27 there (dull) and A272 back (Clear of stones!) Quote
