It appears the Highways Agency would like our views on what to do with the M3:-

Although I use the M3 on an irregular basis, I don't consider myself qualified to comment on what improvements could be made.

Whatever suggestions Joe Public makes as a road user aren't going to take into consideration local issues and environmental issues for example.

Unnecessary additional involvement at the end of day.

As someone who grew up within a mile of J7 of this glorious excuse for a motorway, lets start by making it out of actual tarmac instead of concrete which wears your tyres out more quickly and stops you being able to hold a conversation or listen to music.

Then lets extend it so I can get on at J7 and off at J154 in Wolverhampton, meaning that I don't have to go near the road from Basingstoke to Newbury or the A34 ever, ever again.

Job done. :)

Trouble with tarmac, PG, is that all those flippin great lorries wear ruts into the surface which make driving in lane 1 a real pain - mind you if it gets much worse I'll just stick ye olde Omega in the ruts at J7 and let it steer itself to J4A:-/.

Mind you, as I also used to live within a mile or so of J7, concrete is, as you state, flippin noisy. Another no win scenario.

My first thought when I found the web site was 'mmmm...is that Taxpayer's money I smell burning???'

The bit I like most is:

[The M3] forms part of the E5 Euroroute from Gibraltar to Greenock in Scotland via Portsmouth.

I knew it.
