Comment on Coastal road swept away into the sea in Devon
Nighed@feddit.uk 2 days agoThat’s a natural spit of land (there is another technical term if it has land at both ends I think?). It was there, and flat, so they built the road on it. It wasn’t built for the road. (…probably)

Aye, however reading this I’m even more convinced putting a road there is idiotic, considering the environmental uniqueness of the area.

But hey, who cares about tarmac, exhaust fumes, tyre microplastics, brake dust, and potential oil leaks and debris from accidents in a nature reserve and area of special scientific interest?
