-But this scenario would require the ship to lower anchor in an area where doing so is a big no-no, while under speed and where waters are generally too deep for anchoring, anyway. I don't think E39 will ever be ferry-free - the project is simply too outrageously expensive, even by our petroboosted economy's standards. However, it would make sense to improve the road - I drive parts of E39 almost every day, and in places the posted limit is 50km/h (31mph). It goes through populated areas - so there are zebra crossings. On a European backbone road. Sigh.
