It will indeed. I remember that stretch of the A38 before the M5 opened. It was a fast road with dual carriageways and long stretches of shared bidirectional overtaking lane, where high speed collisions could easily be had by anyone who wanted one.

It’s much wider than needed for the current local traffic, so this really ought to be doable without upsetting anyone. But who knows, these days!
