Why were the motor vehicles not on the parallel M62?
There is a 'perfectly good' motorway provided 'at great expense to the tax payer'.
To be fair, the M62 is some 15 miles north of Woodhead Pass. Which doesn't excuse his idiotic and dangerous driving, of course.

15 miles with a maximum speed limit of 60mph means the average law abiding driver will be there in 10 mins.

Assuming they're not going to Tintwistle.

Any sign of the promised-for-decades Tintwistle Bypass?

It's called the M62.
Wrong (again, fancy that).

Motorvehiclists who wish to pass East/West over the Pennines to/from Manchester can use the M62 and therefor avoid Tintwistle.
it's not a terribly difficult concept to grasp.


What was the point in that pitfully-failed attempt at a wisecrack?
No Motor Vehicles except for access signs should be a cheap solution since motor vehicle operators always obey the law.

It is common practice to impose restriction on through traffic once a bypass has been provided.
