Road Signs

Years ago I drove in New York State. Wouldn't now, as I don't go to the US because of their support of the death penalty, Iraq, steel, trade policies, films etc. etc.

At each junction there was a simple sign that showed what is available within a mile or so. Gas, Food, Lodging etc.

A similar system is also in operation on parts of the A1.

But why can’t we have these signs at all junctions on the motorways, so that we don’t have to use terrible and overpriced services.

As an aside, I am a coeliac and need a gluten-free diet. I have yet to find a services in the UK, that understands my needs or even stocks something suitable by accident, so I have to either take food with me or go searching.
