Too true. In North Yorkshire, the upgrading of the A1 has left large sections of the old A1 as local access roads. When bits of the new A1 were coned off and with a blanket 50mph limit; locals would leave the motorway, use the local access road and enjoy faster journey times (and a couple of roundabouts) at 60mph, or a teeny-weeny bit faster.
