The emergency roadworks on the A14 were causing delays and Google Maps, which had started out quite optimistic about them, realised as we were getting to Huntingdon that they were getting worse, and suggested taking the A1 and A47 instead. The A1 is OK, but I'll be keeping the A47 firmly in the "only as necessary" box. It's single carriageway and I was stuck for miles behind somebody who clearly found anything faster than 45mph too frenetic for their tastes. I managed to overtake them eventually, and a few miles later got stuck behind a lorry until such time as we made it to a crawler lane on a hill. And finally, it brought me out on pretty much the opposite side of the city, so the rest of the trip was in rush hour traffic
But I got home no later than if I'd stuck with the A14, and probably earlier, so that's OK
