Roads you don't like driving on (2 Viewers)

The slip road leaving the M50 at junction 2 towards Ledbury. Totally blind junction at the road intersection, just throttle and go. Whoever designed that junction and the highways department cretins that maintain it in its dangerous state should be made to use it regularly in a Motorhome to experience brown trouser moments for themselves.

I imagine there are some brown trouser moments to for people already on the M50 when a motorhome or other slow moving vehicle pulls out of the junction into their path

M25 the traffic jam road !!! Hate hate hate it!!( and I don't drive!)

Another vote for the M25. We have to negotiate it every time we are going to or from the tunnel. Always breath a sigh of relief when we get off it, especially if we've managed to avoid it in 'car park' mode...

I've always thought the Tail of the Dragon would be fun. Only 11 miles but 318 bends.

The road in Italy with tunnel after tunnel after tunnel for miles I hated it.

Any motorway where they decide it's a good idea to use hard shoulder to ease congestion . Craziest idea ever! Have broken down on motorway 3 times ( in 40 years) and if hard shoulder had not been there I'd not be here now !

That's what I mean by 'all lanes running'.
The emergency services have complained about them and how few and far between the so called emergency lay-bys are.
These simply aren't long enough for recovery vehicles to attend to a single vehicle, let alone more than one, or a truck.
The matrix signs are supposed to be able to close off the inside lane but if you are already past the sign when it changes you will be heading for a stationary vehicle at 70mph!

Is that the one from the Mont Blanc tunnel down to the motorway? I quite like that one

 

[Podney]

All motorways. Boring,boring,boring.

The Paris and Toulouse peripheruiques ( or whatever they call them)

And the M25 equivalent around Milan

My worst one to date, on the way to Mount Olympus I was dreading having to come back down it a couple of days later.

M20 London bound from the tunnel, not only the obvious that we are home again, but truly awful road surface, well it was on Thursday night anyway, possibly worse in the dark

After that just about every bend in Norway seems to have a camber that feels like it trying to chuck you over the edge, particularly bad when there is a many 100' drop off the other side of the barriers

Not sure it’s been said... haven’t read above....

BUT....

I hate those ferkin ripple count-down markers... when approaching “roondeebouts”... and/or .. 30 zone...

... rattle the van they do.... “fekkers!!!!”

 

[Davylambretta]

96-98 between there and Hohne

 

[Ksagic]

Without doubt, the M25 south and M20 with all those concrete slabs, budum, budum, drives me insane & shakes the motorhome to bits...some contractor really stitched up the deal there.

And of course the notorious Applecross - Diabaig route in Scotland

Did that route in the van (admittedly in the opposide direction to your photo, which is easier) a couple of months ago & loved it.

 

[The general]

At moment route 7 ? Thru Hamburg to Denmark extensive road works lasting for another year till end of 2018 !

Coming up from lower Wacker onto upper Wacker in Chicago is not for the faint hearted...

No one mentioned the A15. A MAJOR trunk route from Lincoln to the M180. Awful, Narrow in places, (several LGV`s have run off into the fields) with "soft" verges and big drop`s. Definitely "not fit for purpose". Should have been "dualled" years ago.

As for "interesting" roads, Highway 1!!. (San Simeon to Monterey), SWMBO saw most of it, I was told "keep your eyes on the road not the scenery"!!), we followed a 40+ft R-V towing a tri-axle "Toy Box", boy I bet he was sweating!. OR the "Road to the Sun" in Montana, you cannot take R-V`s on it (Barred). If you drive it you can see why!. But the "bikers" going to Sturgis all Loved it.

Passo Gavia Italy, i've never done it in a motorhome and wouldn't want to, it was scary enough on a Motorbike 2,621 meters and most of it has no barriers and sheer drops in a lot of places.

Indeed. I led a Bmw tour over it this year - preprogrammed route by boss - we had one pillion in tears crying to get back down. Definitely scary especially if a van comes taking up all hairpin.

 

[Northernraider]

In no particular order

The road to work

The road to the dentist

The ones with potholes and speed bumps combined ( here's an idea put the fecking tar from the speed bump in the pothole and hey presto a nice flat road)

Big steep hills with snow on them

Ones that say width restriction 2.1metres when I'm 2.3

The road to nowhere

The road to hell

And the road my ex mother in law lives on

Was it raining as well? there were four of us on two bikes when we went over it and like yourself one of our party was in tears when we stopped at the bottom of the southern side.

This isn't us but it will show everybody what it's like.

 

[bladerunner]

That's the one!
It wasn't raining but you can see the drop offs. Probably scarier for the pillion as she has chance to look over the edge.
At one point a rider had fewer than 5 cm between his boot and oblivion when forced to avoid oncoming car.
Ive ridden virtually all the Alpin passes and I rate this the scariest.

All motorways. Boring,boring,boring.

my thoughts as well. but you forgot ,toll roads ,motorways ,dual carriage ways ,any wide road.
much nicer on the smaller roads , drive through as many villages as you can . dont be in a hurry, smile and wave at the locals .
then avoid Aires and campsites the locals will tell you where to parkup.
always take the longest route much more fun than the shortest.
my dad taught me how to play the game , he was right ,great fun .

Most of Lincolnshire's roads, but from Sutton on Sea to Alford where the edges are broken, and this an A class road supposedly

 

[tonyidle]

The bloody track the sat nav took us down in Cornwall. It seemed to ignore the fact that I had programmed the Motorhome's dimension into it!

I don't think they do Motorhome Roads in Cornwall.

 

[tonyidle]

The Paris and Toulouse peripheruiques ( or whatever they call them)

And the M25 equivalent around Milan

Did you ever negotiate Paris before they built it?
