ThisThere are too many people who dont even know how to join at the correct speed from a slip road ................................

Surely the quickest option is extension of the Armco barriers and close the gaps.Would be interesting to know what caused the accident. But if it's a accident black spot then either close off and re-route to a fly over or build one like they had to on the A66 just past Elton turn-off. The quickest option would be an enforced speed restriction like they have on the A1, speed camera's and a speed reduction section.
Yes I did likewise after alanmoodysdog's suggestion. He's spot on, the inconvenience would be negligible if the gap were closed. They didn't think twice in closing the Black Swan gap on the A19, which was far more disruptive, and it was a few years before the bridge was built.I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure where Hutton Henry was so google mapped it. Why on earth would you take a chance across 2 lanes of 70mph traffic when you can drive to station town and join easily north or southbound via a proper junction near Sheraton of castle Eden? Would only add a few minutes on any journey. Better late than dead on time.
It wasn't just the Black Swan gap, it was also others as well I think.Yes I did likewise after alanmoodysdog's suggestion. He's spot on, the inconvenience would be negligible if the gap were closed.

theres one further south from Castle Eden about 1/2 mile away from the Hutton henry junctions - goes to Station Town and Hartlepool - hutton henry is 1/4 mile from Station TownI’ve just measured it on google earth ( such is my covid enforced spare time ) and it’s 1.8 miles junction to castle Eden junction
From Teesside to Testos needs to be monitored by average speed cameras for that very reason.It's approx 25 miles from testos to the teesside turnoffs and everybody thinks they are in the British grand prix
And more lightning and better slip roads and 50 limits near the junctionsFrom Teesside to Testos needs to be monitored by average speed cameras for that very reason.
Beware certain people on here have an aversion to flat caps on here ;-)Isn’t it peculiar how you slow down when you get older . I now wouldn’t dream of speeding and some might say it’s when you retire and time isn’t critical , but even before I retired I slowed right down .
I even sometimes wear my flat cap in the car just to annoy boy racers
