==Context==
This week, on Roads in...  

We talk about costs, flexible standards and open decisions.   Yes, it's the late 1970s, and with it comes a review and cost cutting.  Specifically called out within the wordy parts of the report are the reduction in standards of the M54 from D3M to D2M; A27 between Havant and Chichester no longer being motorway; and even that the M40 was up in the air and might well have been constructed as all-purpose between Oxford and Warwick.
