Sweden did it in "one day", and that was 60 years ago. You're telling me that modern Britain can't handle something Sweden did 60 fucking years ago, with 60 years of technological and societal progress?
Ah yes 60 years ago is totally comparable to today. The infrastructure and number of vehicles is exactly the same! Also Sweden dont use the Euro yet, good example!
I'm pretty sure that the speed limits that are based on human reaction times for safety and traffic jams are roughly the same. Maybe they throughput more cars, but the limits and roads should be roughly the same except for very very special regions.
Unless they invented a few new types of bridge and tunnel since the 60s?
There's literally just too much to make it worthwhile. The fact Britain is also an island adds that natural barrier, that making people switch sides one crossed, makes more sense. If it wasnt an island, it probably would have been done a long time ago.
I think its just a non-issue. Not worth the time or effort.
NI gets blown out the water once again.
Can of worms that we are not opening lmao
