Baggers1987 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 They are shutting off the pedestrian underpass between Mitchell's wine and norton pub and putting up a pedestrian crossing. I for one would rather cross over the road than go down there on an evening so that is a better move. As for the roundabout the plans stated they were making it "easier" for cars and "wider"..... who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 When is the road closing? I catch the x17 to work so I wonder which way it will go if the roundabout is closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although they are going to build a flyover, it won't be for some time ... it's called 'Phase 3' and probably not for another couple of years.

Andy C Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Is there a bit of confusion caused by the fact all the side streets around Woodseats are currently closed for the Streets Ahead treatment? (rebuilt road surface, new LED street lights etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT Ralge Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Swimming against the Council-bashing tide, I can't be the only one to think that, during the roadworks, the roundabout has functioned/flowed no worse than before and possibly better. Could this because the roadworks have traffic-calmed the speed on the roundabout down to a level where drivers can find and use a gap on the roundabout more easily AND, with only two lanes, drivers' lane choice (and intended path) is easier to read and decidedly more predictable. It will interesting to see how a new and fully-opened roundabout layout will flow (with more lane choices, higher transit speeds and less predictability).

the_rudeboy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 looking at what they are doing, once finished its going to be worse than it was before, they reduced it from 3 to 2 lanes Where is this info from? The proposed new lane layout is almost identical to the original layout apart from the section by the Greenhill Main Rd splitter island, which is being increased from 2 lanes to 3 lanes.

I use it twice a day and looking at the width, it can't be more than 2 lanes wide as all the kerbing is in place now on both sides of the road Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
