![]() Moto have now said they want to have both Scotch Corner and Leeming Bar changed from rest areas to service areas, but they seem to have suggested this can be done without making any changes to Leeming Bar. The service areas on the A1(M) continue to keep planning departments up at night. This is therefore another fluke of history. It was only able to do this because it had been providing more than a rest area had ever needed to. Since then, Leeming Bar has significantly scaled back its operation, partly as a result of COVID-19 travel restrictions. This information was correct when the new road opened. Rest area status therefore appears to be being used with no apparent logic. Other than this, all three of the UK's motorway rest areas offer significant facilities enough to qualify as a full motorway service area and with more on offer than some existing motorway service areas have. ![]() Strictly speaking, Scotch Corner doesn't meet the standards required of a rest area as it doesn't have HGV parking, but understandably a decision was made to let this slide and simply warn HGVs that they couldn't stop there. Both are survivors of the A1 which had been upgraded to a motorway, even though the former is a long distance from the nearest motorway junction and isn't clearly signed. Todhills remained the country's only rest area until Leeming Bar joined it in 2014, soon followed by Scotch Corner. The 2022 policy barely mentions rest areas at all. In 2013, they relaxed their regulations which meant "having too many alternatives" would no longer be a reason to stop new service area. In 2010, the Highways Agency published a list of the gaps between all the existing motorway facilities and compared them to the criteria set out in Circular 01/2008, in the hope that this would encourage more developers to come forward. The idea was approved and 'motorway rest area' became an official status for smaller facilities that want to add to the existing offer - just in time for Todhills to become one. This brought up the subject of rest areas and suggested they could be used to give drivers more places to stop. Closing it would have meant an expensive compensation process and breaching assurances which had previously been given to the landowner.Īt the same time (and the timing was almost-certainly no coincidence), the Department for Transport held a review of their policy on roadside facilities. Strictly speaking, the small service area at Todhills should have closed, as it had limited facilities and there were existing alternatives nearby. In 2008 the A74 at Todhills was being upgraded to become a motorway. The two petrol stations are the main facility at Todhills rest area. This is very similar to the motorway examples given above, and more were considered for A-roads in the 1970s, but these are just picnic areas and not what is meant by a "rest area" in the current regulations. These are supposed to be treated as tourist attractions and called a "picnic area", but one on the A120 is signed as a "rest area". On the A-road network, there are a handful of designated "picnic areas", which may have toilets and a refreshments kiosk. Problems planning the services caused the road to open with 'emergency facilities' temporary facilities provided at junctions, taken away when the full services were ready. The final motorway example dates back to the opening of the M40. This lasted until 1998, when a commercial operator expanded it. Although it was known as Brent Knoll rest area, the road signs made it clear it was a "picnic area".Īt Hapsford, no developer was interested in the site so in 1978 it opened as a council-run picnic area. The whole experience was later summarised as "unfavourable". Maintenance problems and commercial demand caused it to be sold to different operators. Newland Common was going to be the first candidate, but Brent Knoll was built instead. In 1973, one government parliamentary secretary was impressed by French motorway picnic areas, and suggested the UK did the same. In the event, none of these ideas were taken forward. Similar arguments had been made for the M50 through Worcestershire, although that was before motorway services had been finalised as a concept. They also looked at building car parks at every motorway junction. ![]() The Ministry of Transport preferred the idea of building services every 12 miles, not wanting the motorway network to be filled with leisure drivers. ![]() In 1965, when the M6 was built through Cumberland and Westmorland, the local authorities suggested motorists might like to take advantage of the good views here by using parking areas provided every six miles.

![]() What was most surprising was that many did not exactly love the situation and felt somewhat conflicted. Reporting for this story, I spoke with multiple people who are essentially funemployed, or at least one meaning of it, who sit around at work all day with very little to do. So for now, like many people, his jobless employment status continues. “If we did,” he says, “I don’t think I’d be employed.” He’s read stories about companies tracking remote workers to make sure they’re actually working but feels pretty confident his company isn’t. He shows up at office social events once a month to put in face-time and is generally well-liked. Nate doesn’t think his boss or anyone is really aware of the problem - his company laid off hundreds of workers earlier this year, and he made it through. Are they incompetent? Do they suck at managing?” “It also raises questions for people about whoever is supposed to be managing that person. It can engender huge resentment from the person’s colleagues, especially if they themselves are overworked, and you do see that combination a lot,” says Alison Green, a career columnist and expert who runs the website Ask a Manager. There’s a percentage of every job that’s bullshit, and in their case, that’s 90 percent, minimum. These jobless employed are a persistent presence in the working world, their existence a bug that’s become a feature. Twice a month, Emily Stewart’s column exposes the ways we’re all being squeezed under capitalism. Other times, like in Nate’s case, that’s just how the corporate cards have been dealt. Many people have also, at some point in time, been that less-than-occupied worker. Strongly suspecting that a certain person isn’t doing much, or not nearly enough to fill up what is ostensibly an eight-hour day, seems to be a near-universal work experience. Vox granted him anonymity to speak for this story for obvious reasons, as we did all of the workers interviewed. “How do I initiate that conversation that’s, ‘Hey, I haven’t been doing much of anything this whole time, I need more to do’? You don’t really want to draw attention to it,” says Nate, which is a pseudonym. Maybe he could take more initiative and try to take on more, but he gets good performance reviews and raises as it is, so he figures, why bother? Plus, it’s not like he can waltz up to his boss to announce there’s no real business reason for his existence. “I don’t have a problem with being asked to do work it’s just I’m not really being asked,” he says. His only real restriction is that he can’t stray too far from home in the event he is needed for something. Otherwise, he spends most of the day doing, basically, whatever he feels - he sleeps in, he watches TV, he does household chores. He moseys over to his computer whenever he gets an alert on his phone that he’s got a task to complete. In reality, Nate works one hour a day at most. In theory, Nate works 40 hours a week in the operations department at a major fintech company.

The June “ring of fire”" eclipse arrives 15 days after May’s super flower blood moon, the first total lunar eclipse in almost two and a half years that was visible for roughly 14 minutes in Asia, Australia and most of the U.S. On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will darken the skies from Texas to Maine. In an annular or partial eclipse, the Sun’s remaining light illuminates the Moon’s black silhouette with a surrounding “ring of fire.” On October 14, 2023, an annular solar eclipse will create a ring of fire in the sky from Oregon to Texas. ![]() Outside of the eclipse’s direct path, skywatchers in surrounding areas were able to view a partial solar eclipse.Ī solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, covering a portion or all of the Sun’s light. Total eclipse ends (3rd contact C3): The Moon starts to move away from the Sun. The cosmic episode then turned south, before concluding in southeastern Siberia. The Moon covers the center of the Sun completely creating a stunning ring of fire in the sky. The eclipse, which lasted for approximately one hour and 40 minutes, began north of Lake Superior at sunrise, before crossing desolate parts of Canada, Greenland, the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole. ![]() The paper is mainly concerned with examining the approaches empirically to determine which works best. He went on to discuss a more iterative approach, perhaps the foundation of what would become an Agile approach.īell and Thayer’s paper discusses a change in approach from a bottom-up to a top-down in the development of software requirements, referencing the adoption of this approach in MIL STD 490/483 (MIL STD 490 discusses specifications practices and MIL STD 483 discusses Configuration Management Practices for Systems). In fact, he described it in unflattering terms, calling it flawed and inviting failure in many ways. As has been noted in many places, however, Royce’s paper did not praise the method.
