TII Motorway Service Areas (MSA) Progress Thread

Interesting that the most professionally designed and aesthetically pleasing advertising totem signs are nearly always turned down by the planners as "injuring the visual amenity" yet those godawful, old abandoned truck containers leaning at a crooked angle on a hilly terrain can be plonked in any field across the country with fading and peeling garish adverts and no planning whatsoever is required....

This is actually good to know, as despite going up/down that direction for years I never knew about the outside toilets.

That said I am a man so I'll just slash wherever, but an actual toilet is good to have.

Ouch! Lived there for a while

I am surprised TII are allowing HGVs to still use the Laybys on the Motorway network and only stop Private Cars as I believe the work crews who clean up the Laybys have a major issue with what HGV drivers are leaving behind!

I find these useful and I often pull in for a short break or phone call/text. If used correctly there’s no issue but one of the biggest problems I’d think is litter and dumping of rubbish. Not all stretches have motorway services yet
