Saw something very similar to this the other day except in daylight. Got in Morrison's lane, swerved all the way left then swerved back right to get into the coned off right lane. All happened just in front of me but luckily nobody alongside & I drive the route every day so try to give plenty of space (notwithstanding terrible driving it is still a fairly shoddy bit of road at the moment!).

 

I too witnessed one of these earlier in the week ! it was slightly bemusing to observe (I was the car behind, fortunately with a good amount of distance between us), but could have had disastrous consequences

I think everybody has moved onto Jawbone. There must have been 50 cars queuing at the bridge 630tonight.

how many times does the tarmac need to be re-layed in that area ?? came passed today only to see road ready to be done again must cost loads to put it down , dig up again and put it down again n again:loopy:

Yep, driving in Sheffield at the moment is an absolute chore.

Get through all the carnage in Sheffield, then its 50mph on the motorway in every direction! ARGHH!

 

Driving in Sheffield (particularly in the peak hours) is always a chore.

Actually, driving in any city (or even town.....) is a chore in the rush hour.

 

Final point. Am I the only one who finds that traffic (apart from in the rush hours) is actually busier on Sundays than in the week ?

Just been out only to find that you cant turn right at the bottom of Bamforth St on to Penistone Road, should be fun in the morning!

That's just happened then, as they were still doing it at around 5pm as I drove along Penistone Road.

Aren't they starting the resurfacing overnight now or soon which means temporary alterations and closures to surrounding roads ?

About 10-30 this morning it took me nearly 40 minutes to get from Lidle on Halifax Road to Kilner Way, only time the traffic moved was when someone did a u turn to try a different route, I put radio Sheffield on to see what the problem was and they said that there was a supertram accident on Penistone Road must have been some accident for the tram to finish up on Penistone Road.

i noticed a sign about the disruptions on the way home stating that works would commence on 10th November for 3 weeks. The roads will be closed between 7am & 7pm monday to friday. ( i think that were the times.. it could have been between 7pm & 7am).
