observer Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cones in Froghall Lane; no sign of any work going on, just impeding traffic flows - someone's having a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 perhaps they are setting up for a street party to celebrate the twenty first birthday of that pothole in tanners lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 had to go to doctors today and as it is in wilderspool rd went via crossfields roundabout. Â what a shocker that was. cones all over the place and they have changed the road markings. where there was once three lanes heading towards town there are now only two and a wide band of white stripes. the lane that used to go into town has now been redirected so that two lanes now head up toward the back of the hospital. only to be cut down to one lane at the turning for the hospital. Â There were no signs saying that they were going to change the layout so imagine my surprise when i got in the lane that usually leads into town only to find that i had to suddenly switch to the next lane and hope that i did not cut anybody up in the process. Â it was bad enough before but it is even worse now. maybe when they have finished marking it out it will make more sense but probably not.

Bazj Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 The way this town buggers about with road layouts and markings, we should have a google satellite shot done every two weeks to keep up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Perhaps the Highways Department will be wiped out in the cull of pointless Council jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just a cynical thought: could this effort by the Highways Dept to constrict traffic flows and thus contribute to increasing congestion, have anything to do with proposals for congestion charging in the near future?!

observer Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Still no work going on in Froghall Lane; and cone man struck in the night to block the right hand turn into Guardian St - definately having a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianR Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 Crossfield railway bridge is having work done on it until end of August. No Eastbound traffic and west bound 20mph and under 3tns only. caused mayhem on the buses today. Â Probably accounts for all the cones.

wahl Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 yes network rail have to do some emergency repairs so the roads are a mess and traffic will just have to manage or go somewhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Well, seems members of the public are revolting - some of the cones have been moved to allow a right hand turn - vive la revolution! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Not all members of the public are revolting. Quite a few of them are quite nice really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Seems "coneman" maybe reading these posts; they've now created a space for traffic to turn into and out of Guardian St. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 does anyone know if the alterations to the road layout (allowing 2 lanes of traffic to go down guardian street etc. are to be removed after the works are complete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 probably not as the council will not have the funds to repaint the white lines in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
