Mitchell Road /Abbey Lane Jct

Anybody know what the Streetforce geezers are doing there today ?

 

Looks like they are putting up a No Entry Sign and Kerbing, similar to Marshall Road.

 

Which will be great if it stops all the rat running.

A nice scheme to increase congestion in Woodseats, nice job Council.

[metalman 21]

Yeah great, let's block off all the roads and that will stop anybody getting anywhere.

[Streetfarce 10]

Actually It is a nightmare now. So much traffic tries to avoid Woodseats by using these side streets, cars are often damaged and there is pandemonium and gridlock on these streets regularly. there is no room for cars to go in both directions.

 

I would prefer them to imprve the main road so the side roads don't become short cuts.

Both side and main road need to be improved. Council are wriggling themselves out of a problem by preventing people driving through alternate routes without sorting out the problem causing unnecessary use of side roads.

 

This kind of measure is short sighted to say to the least. Residents on Marshall Street will certainly need to access Abbey Lane. Non-residents might need to go down Marshall Road to then go down towards Sainsbury's.

 

Absolute numpties and just another reason to blame Council and Streetfarce for traffic in Sheffield.

Those people going to Sainsbury's are exactly the problem.

 

It makes the roads hellish.

[Captain_Scarlet 10]

The roads are hellish, not people using them.

Could you give a summary please ?

[bus man 10]

Very Simple

 

The residents of the mitchel road area are concerned that since the traffic lights were installed at the junction of Abbey Lane & Meadowhead/Chesterfield Road the roads round mitchel have become a rat run. The roads are narrow due to parked cars and speeding traffic is causing problems especialy with parked cars and children crossing the roads, threfore a 1 way system as been proposed

 

As I said earlier this as been the subejct of various threads and its the locals who have sujested this remember streetforce are only the contractor it is the highway authroity ie SMDC who do the planning consultation etc

Why not put double yellow lines down one side of each of these side roads? Then there'll be plenty of room for cars to pass as they drive along the road.
