I doubt many people use the A1 for long distance travel in the south or

I think the A1/A1M has two or three roundabouts between the London
boundary and Northumberland.


And the rest:

Apex Corner
Stirling Corner
Biggleswade x 2
Sandy
Black Cat
Buckden

All in the same 50 mile stretch and all with queues during a weekday and thats
before you take into account some tight curves and average speed camera enforced
speed restrictions in the non motorway bedfordshire section. I made the mistake
of driving to Edinburgh up the A1 about 5 years ago. Its not one I shall be
repeating anytime soon though given the endless roadworks on the M1 with barely
a worker to be seen for 5 miles at a time its a PITA going north out of London
for any significant distance atm.
