"Our road network was well designed and developed from early last century, mostly serving our needs efficiently. In recent years, they have become almost an opportunity for local authorities to maintain budget levels by spending on ludicrous over-direction and duplication of signage that has left the system looking more like a child's toy set. People are not so stupid as to need this... we managed fine for nearly a century without it. What spending is being cut in other important areas to finance this fiasco?"
Such a sweet idea: the road network was designed (er, no, it evolved) from early last century (not even early last millennium, it's far older than that) and serves our needs efficiently (oh really?).
We managed fine for nearly a century with increasing car numbers and, I'm fairly certain (I can't actually find any figures), increasing accident numbers.
Furthermore, the words "People are not so stupid as to need this" is directly contradictable: there is no known limit to the idiocy of humans. The Prime Minister's Petitions website exhibits this admirably, as do other sites like Wikipedia's Lamest Edit Wars.
