Fine for those going N-S, & S-N, not so good for those going E-W & W-E.


I've heard that said, but whenever I've seen those lights out of action  I've seen no queues at all. Plenty of traffic turns into town or Sainsbury's which should give plenty of opportunity to go east west.

ADMIN: "This heralds the start of extensive roadworks to improve traffic flow on the Sainsbury's Roundabout."

I cannot see how this is "extensive". All they have done is a bit of road re-surfacing, and a few clearer road markings.
Now I know what lane to be in to go from Kings Road into Bear Lane - nothing much else has changed.

So why has it taken so long to complete, and was all the disruption to traffic for little return, worth it?
Has anyone seen any major improvement to traffic flow on the roundabout?
Has there been any alteration to traffic light sequences to assist traffic flow?

Personally, I see no improvement other than some clearer markings, which may aleviate a little road rage against those who were in the wrong lanes beforehand!

Or actually create some road rage!

Maybe, but that wasn't one of the questions!

If "Forum Rage" is anything to go by, then it doesn't take new white lines to instigate it!
