Six Ideas for Poland

UKians don't like to hear this, but from a Dutch perspective it is really a notch below the rest of Western Europe. Most Dutch people experience underdevelopment when they go south in certain parts of France, but these regions are generally rural and remote-ish. In the UK major road connections are ungraded, narrow roads occasionally still going through town centers,; French departmental route level if you are lucky. On British highways, you will just suddenly drive into a roundabout...

Time stood still. It reminds me of eastern Europe pre-EU.

Thatcherism took hold and the Tories keep winning. This is your country on trickle down economics -- the roads suck and nothing changes.

No british motorway has a roundabout on it. A road's yes. Same as in france.

I was being generous by including A Roads in 'highways'. Britain has the same length of highways as the Netherlands if you only consider M classification, which is to say, deplorably little. Over 5x less than Germany and France.

But if you insist, sure, the few miles of British motorway don't include roundabouts. They do tend to start or end with them though ;)
