Arena traffic, a simple solution ?

[laceypoos 10]

A complete nightmare, got stuck in it tonight on the way to the retail park.

The main problem was people blocking lanes to try and advance a cars length. On my reckoning 3 good old traffic directing cops would have seen the traffic flowing at a normal (if peak] rate so why don't they ?

Have you contacted NCC Highways or SYP?

 

Its only short term so to divert 3 police officers at short notice would be a complete waste of resources.

Its slow traffic! It happens all over the city depending on the time and location.

Do you want them to have a team on standby at all times just in case?

The Arena arent going to pay for extra policing.

 

End of thread.

There certainly used to be police directing traffic at the Arena when there was an event on. A friend who wasn't familiar with the area took a wrong turn and we ended up having words with one of them. It was all good natured!

Doesn't the OP say they were going to the Retail Park?

Yep, rubbish time to pick to go visit homebase.

 

It's abit of a waste of police resources tho, because you can say they should do that for every public event.

 

Just look at the state of the traffic after a football match, sure a few bobbies directing traffic would get things moving well - but whats the point, it will all be over in an hour or so.

 

The police do bog all as it is, but directing traffic isn't a good use of anyones time.

I'd much rather they concentrate on finding those morons with guns around manor area.

This causes most traffic problems. People are idiots.

A simple solution? Ride there on a bicycle, there are loads of safe off road cycle paths all around the retail park linking it to other parts of the city.

I can see how that'd be handy fro bringing 5 bags of compost and half a dozen rolls of wallpaper home from Homebase...
