1. This is so concerned about the safety of children during trips to the drivers to easily see small children dressed in bright reflective clothing, crossing the road.
2. Another characteristic detail - all the pillars street lighting have no external wiring, all wiring is laid underground in the special cable channels. This applies to all roads, towns and even small villages. A single standard for the entire country.
3. Before entering into every village recalls the high-speed mode. About the maximum speed is also reported special markings on the roadway. Moreover, for all road marking paint is not used, which erased a couple of months, and a special embossed thermoplastics, which will serve more than one year.
Also in the picture is clear warning about the speed limits set by the camera. Such cameras are installed in large numbers on all UK roads.
4. On the dividing strip installed special reflectors - reflectors, due to which the night is clearly visible boundary of his lane. On motorways and reflectors mounted on the sides of the road.
5. In all the secondary roads every few kilometers are located here such pockets for temporary parking. About them advance warning signs of type P ½ m - parking half a mile. In the parking lot is usually installed trash.
6. At the same secondary roads are often in addition to the label "dangerous turn" or even without it, the road is applied to a special markup "Slow", which means a recommendation to slow down on this stretch of road. By the way trees and shrubs sometimes grow so thickly that the road turns into a green tunnel.
7. And some roads are so narrow that even a car difficult to drive. But with all the attributes of "adult" road - markings and even the warning signs "Slow", duplicated in Welsh (in Wales)
8. On the road to Oxford I came across such a retro-cars:

9. Even at the intersection of small roads are often constructed roundabouts.
10. Interestingly arranged the intersection of the main and secondary road.
The sign "Give way" and signed words. On the road, painted a duplicate sign marking a triangle. Tellingly anywhere in England did not see the sign "main road". Ie apparently assumed that if there is no sign of the "circular motion" or "Give Way" is our main road.

Needless to say that the vast majority of drivers on the road are polite and follow the rules. If someone gives way, in gratitude, he waves his hand (instead of the emergency gang, as we do).
12. For each separate lanes installed a traffic light. If any band at the intersection you can go right or left / right, the traffic light is sure to be two or three green sections. Ie at the traffic lights, you can always easy to determine in which directions are allowed to go.
13. Drainage drains for rain installed on all roads, even in remote villages, so there is almost no puddles. And do hatches are installed on the side of the road that they do not bump the car and they do not need to go around.
14. Traffic police do not stand along the roads and at the entrance to the town there is a traffic police post. All controlled by surveillance cameras.
15. On a busy road at the entrance to the village before the first crossroads on the road begins transverse yellow markings, which creates a strong vibration for the machine to attract the driver's attention
All.
