Geoffrey Settle Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I thought that Bridge Street was Bus and Taxi only - however tonight during rush hour loads of cars were using it as a short cut to by-pass the traffic jam and get to Mersey Street. Does this always happen around 5:30pm? A traffic warden would have a field day and make loads of dosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 If it eases the traffic jam what's the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 it's the thought of all that money going to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Don't traffic wardens knock off at 4:30 like the rest of our public servants? (ducks and runs for life ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Warrington's always a pain at rush hour. Problem with Bridge Street is that if you go along the one way systems in Sankey, Suez, Cairo, Ryland, Egypt Street etc they tend to lead you towards Bridge Street Same happens as if you go along Friars Gate to where it joins with lower Bridge Street as you can't then go ahead into Academy Way as that's one way in the opposite direction so the only alternative to those who are then lost is to either turn around.. which is difficult due to the one way streets already mentioned or to take their chance driving down the tiny bit of Bridge Street. Of course you can still go down Bridge Street if you are visiting the Guardian Offices or perhaps intending on purchase a heavy object from one of the closed down shops How's your nose by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Much better thank you There did seem to be a lot of sirons going off at the time and there was a large build up of traffic as I waited at the market bus stop. Once on the bus a police car screamed past so maybe there was something going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 5:30 PM? Dinner time and he was late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Didn't hear any sirons but it was 5.45pm when I was trying to get trhough there. Traffic was bad but no worse than usual at that time. Local radio station did mention a multi vehicle pile-up on one of the motorways though I don't remember which one it said but sure it said Queensferry... so not that local but I could have heard it wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
