  Guardian | Ode to a road
Pieter Boogaart is used to eyes glazing over as he explains the subject of his book: the past splendours and present glories of the A272, a road which straggles for 90 miles through Hampshire and Sussex.
His book lists every road, railway track (current and long gone) and footpath which intersects the A272, and where it is crossed by the Greenwich meridian (near Newick).
Road engineers insist the A272 is less than a century old, but Mr Boogaart remains true to his quest to prove it is a pilgrim's route from Winchester to Canterbury.

ROAD SAFETY PANEL ITEM 2 28TH SEPTEMBER 1989 REVISED ORGANISATION OF LOCAL TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT AND ROAD SAFETY SECTIONS REPORT OF THE COUNTY SURVEYOR 1 Introduction 1.1 Hampshire have for many years directed the majority of their road safety effort towards educating road users and providing publicity on particular aspects of road safety; e.g.
This work must continue as by far the most important factor in road accidents is human error and it follows, therefore, that improved road user behaviour could ultimately bring about greater reductions in road casualties than can be achieved in any other way.
Below this level all road safety activities will be combined under the direction of a Section Engineer affording opportunity for a more flexible and co-ordinated deployment of staff resources between the two specialisms.

The Winchester incidents are interesting in that they all centred around one woman, a Mrs Bowles, who had suffered so many poltergeist and similar incidents occurring around her, over the years, that she and her family treated them as part of the normal way of things.
In the first of these UFO incidents, in November 1976, the car she and a Mr Pratt were travelling in was 'jerked' across the road and onto the opposite verge, where a 'spacecraft' and then a man-like figure appeared.
A section of the A272 road aligned on this second ley, and both leys passed through modern 'trig-points' (small concrete pillars used in map-survey work), which were built by the Ordnance Survey Service at the highest points in each area - another correlation with Watkins' formulae for leys.

 Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation: News in English, 00-03-10
Today's tailer has a literary ring to it, but while a congested road is not everyone's idea of poetry in motion, it didn't stop Dutchman Pieter Boogaart writing a 214-page book about his favourite stretch of tarmac.
Boogaart, 55, took 10 years to research the epic "Ode to a Road" and spent all his holidays walking, cycling or driving on the 90-mile A272 road through the southern English counties of Hampshire and Sussex.
The A272 is a case in point," Boogaart, a language teacher, was quoted as saying by Britain's top-selling Sun tabloid on Thursday.
