The other day, what is usually a 10-15min drive took 50min, there’s talks of opening the back roads to local disabled drivers but only if you live near them, in my opinion they should be open to motability as we mostly use our cars for the health of ourselves / families. what are the roads like where you are?
Surely you can’t be advocating ‘open roads’ just for Motability vehicles? What about disabled people who choose to buy their own vehicles and/or use another solution to their mobility needs (paying for taxis etc)?
As for roads around me, other than getting full of tourists, either touring the Dales or looking for the Tan Hill Inn, most are perfectly clear open, particularly out of the tourist season.
Mind you, we don’t need bus lanes, as there are no buses – other than the one minibus per week that goes to Reeth and which doesn’t come back (it travels back via a different route)!
