Milky Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not been that way for a long time, took a trip to the shopping center and noted yet more traffic lights, this time on the roundabouts both on the big roundabout to the ind est at the next one to Birchwood shopping center, full time ones! Councils especially Warrington Council seem desperate to increase pollution from standing traffic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 They have still not finished using up that job lot of traffic lights they got cheap from ebay.🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 I can't believe the amount of time and effort that went into doing this and how effective (if at all) it's going to be. They did pretty much the same at the other end where it meets onto Manchester Road and as far as I know, those lights have never ever been turned on since they were installed. Also in all those years, I've never seen a single person using the crossing. Does anyone have a figure on how much this exercise actually cost?

Evil Sid Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 Think of a number between 100 and 200. Double it. Multiply it by the age of the queen. Subtract your year of birth. Divide by the page number and add vat plus a 10% tip. Round up to the nearest whole number and add two zero's to the end. should be about the right answer. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky71 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 It's definitely better where that have provided new lanes so you don't have to stop to turn left at the roundabouts (coming from birchwood centre towards warrington and going through the grange from birchwood). However I think the lights should be part time. In the off peak hours, the traffic moves freely on its own. The lack of give way lines suggests this isn't going to happen though.

Milky Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I don't get why the Express Way is not a duel carriageway all the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Because you have to give the road planners something to put forward for next years budget and justify their jobs......🕵️♀️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
