Earlier today I drove along the A45 from Weedon to Heyford - more or less J16 of the M1.
This was built around 2017/18 to bypass the village of Flore and remove the Weedon X roads as a bottleneck.
It's single carriageway and the entire length - around 3 miles - has hatching in the centre of road over red tarmac a metre or so wide bounded by broken lines.
There've been fatals since it opened, cars overtaking lorries, and it seems this is mitigation to draw attention to the centre line.
As the boundary lines are broken it does not bar the line being crossed.
Not seen over such an extensive piece of road before.
