Can't a few public spirited motorist shovel the stuff onto the verge before it sets?
I do despair when I hear on the radio in the mornings that a broken-down car is causing an obstruction; and half an hour later it is still there. Can't two or three beefy drivers shift it; or are all commuting motorists wimps?

I drove through at around 3:30 this afternoon. All traffic was using the outside lane, there is no hard shoulder...

Commuting is by no means a wimps game, but criticising them from the comfort of your armchair is probably quite easy to do.

And as it was spread over approximately 400 metres it might have taken more than a few blokes with shovels! The HA had a number of heavy vehicles there sorting it out.
