What places do you hate driving in?

[TheOchreHare]

Big cities

@ScottChegg the M5 or the Bristol flyover?

Unfamiliar cities where I'm relying heavily on satnav to get to where I'm going.

Glasgow. I have a real have-car-will-travel attitude to driving but driving in Glasgow puts the fear of God into me. It's a labyrinth of one way systems.

I don't mind cities or country lanes but will not go on a motorway

That's actually my absolutely favourite bit of motorway! Love the views

@MrsMoastyToasty The flyover!

The Amalfi coast. It was absolutely terrifying. Narrow,winding cliff edge roads with huge drops down. Locals whizzing in and out on their zippy mopeds. Never again.

handy cross roundabout (high wycombe) and the sainsburys roundabout in slough. both are evil and i avoid them AT ALL COSTS even if it means adding extra time to my journey

The magic roundabout in Hemel Hempstead. Done it several times and can never seem to get in the correct lane!

Also dislike unknown city centres. Love motorway driving though, and country lanes in the daylight (hate it at night though!).

Petrol stations (horrible places) and car parks (too many pedestrians and too much random behaviour)

@idkbroidk I was just about to mention the dreaded Handy Cross roundabout!

Cambridge.

YES!!!

But why is it so awful?

Central London at 20mph I hate.

This is Bakewell isn’t it? Maybe you didn’t mean it to be but it is. Even down to the roundabout that has a magnetic force that disables indicators and drags cars into the widest possible arc past each of the exits.

Birmingham and Manchester.

Leeds, Sheffield, much of London are fine..

City centres! Too much "traffic calming", bus lanes/gates, one way systems, access only roads (often not clearly signposted), weird junction layouts, etc. delivery drivers and taxis randomly stopping without indicating/pulling in safely, not to mention too many people who clearly can't drive (most probably never passed their driving test!).

Give me country roads, motorways, dual carriageways any day!

Sounds a bit like Padstow, people glare at any cars driving through as if they have no right to be on the road

Anywhere I don't know at night !!!

Country roads & cities.

Love motorways.

Once upon a time I would have said Catthorpe interchange, and that bloody awful M4 roundabout on the A34 near Newbury. Both now just a memory albeit one that still makes me shudder when I recall it.

@ScottChegg I was never unlucky enough to break down on the flyover, but I would imagine that half of central Bristol would become gridlocked. It was demolished many years ago.
@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads it's horrible if you're towing a caravan in high winds and a lorry overtakes you or even if you are in lane 3 southbound and there's only a low barrier to prevent you toppling onto the northbound carriageway. Iunderstand it was built that way because the people who owned a house on the hillside near the southbound carriageway didn't want to lose their view across the valley.

Also London, specifically coming out of the disabled parking at Hyde Park at nearly midnight in the pouring rain after a concert. Bloody terrified me, either people everywhere and all the bikes weaving in and out of traffic. Navigated that, then drive on to a hotel in Hemel Hempstead and had to go across the Magic Roundabout to get to it. I nearly had a meltdown!

I agree, Paris is horrendous. See also - Brussels.

So many...Leeds - I just can't get my bearings at all.The Mancunian Way - the exits are all too close together, too near the slip roads on, and all looks the same. And the Wandsworth gyratory. I know my way round there really well, but seemingly no one else does, so I'm forever having near misses with people changing lanes late and dangerously.
