Probably been some research into this.
I thought the Italians found out that realistically sensibly high speed limits caused drivers to maintain alertness.
Different strokes.
PS - what could they possibly be erecting that greenery for in the linked article?
Keep drivers alert? Add scenery......

IIRC the hedge across the bridge is to facilitate with wildlife crossing a new road.

Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.

Spending money on tree planting...what about the chronic state of the roads. Words fail me.....

Tree roots help soil to drain, so could help reduce rain run-off and so flash floods.

I always understood that to keep drivers alert and to stop tedium and repetitiveness,.
ALL the over bridges on the M50 were designed to be all different. [brick steel concrete arched straight ets etc]
SO had to be done and it did seem they were. [But I may have nodded off]
The next trick was to take all my Police drivers on there,. I used to put a £20 note on the dashboard and tell them that the first person to tell me what was unique about the motorway could keep it.
Well being a total tight A**S I knew I was on to a winner and never lost.

It is not WHAT you drive, BUT:-- the WAY that you drive it.
It is not HOW fast you drive, BUT:-- HOW you drive fast.

Only m-way junction that isn't up to usual motorway spec?

Yes now you mention I seem to remember that being said once too.
