Between blotch and blok

I fairly often see them parked in the layby here (http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=52.212156,0.206444&spn=0.003129,0.008143&t=h&om=1).

Yesterday I met one (with police escort) heading along the B1102 towards Swaffham Prior. It was on the right side of the road, but on half the wrong side of the road as well, so the police car ahead was driving along the middle of the road making us pull off to the side. (Presumably it was the same one you saw.)

Yes (or at least the A14). Possibly because there are bridges they won't fit under, possibly just because completely blocking a small road is considered better than largely blocking a large road. Snarls up Newmarket town centre something rotten at times.

Why the answer of "build the boatyard close to the water" isn't a better one, I don't know.
