beansforyou   10 #13 Posted February 6, 2015 looks sensible. But still wont solve my biggest gripe. Nursery Street outbound is a killer in the evening by car & bus. The lights are green for about 8 seconds at the brigehouses gyratory roundabout. 2 cars through and that's it and the queue just builds and builds.  Takes me 20 Minutes sometimes to get from Castlegate to Bank Street, going round in a big circle, when before I could tootle straight across bridge street to the bottom of Snig Hill and turn left.  Good old planning that, all those extra emissions must be doing wonders for the city.

RickM Â Â 10 #14 Posted February 8, 2015 Ah so this is what's going on. I saw them doing measurements last week on my walk to work (I'm in Brewery Wharf), then on Friday they'd spraypainted all over the place. Today they put cones out but no work had started when I last popped out (early afternoon). Â This better not close the footpath. If I have to walk the other way I've gotta go all the way up to the Rutland Road bridge as the one on Ball Street seems to just be permanently closed now. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Spotted a few signs on the way home last night that said roadworks were due to commence on the 8th, and last for 4 months.  Also noticed that the traffic was far heavier than usual this morning on the way to work -around 8am ish ( although this could be unrelated) So much for lasting 4 months, no where near finished and looks like it will be another 4 months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

darylslinn   10 #17 Posted June 22, 2019 I'm still trying to work out what they are trying to achieve apart from another set of lights for the Shalesmoor bound traffic..... it's getting ridiculous now. Those temporary narrow lanes are dangerous too.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

darylslinn   10 #19 Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Not easy especially when a lorry appears on your left hand side too.....  Ironically with all the cycle lanes in place around there and the others going in you don't see many cyclists around there.  Edited June 23, 2019 by darylslinn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #20 Posted June 23, 2019 Personally I'd avoid that main road if I could and use the quieter back streets, and the cycle lanes don't look particularly inviting to me as a cyclist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Brown paint in the gutter does not make a safe cycle route.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffandy   24 #22 Posted June 23, 2019 What a joke this area  was today. What a day to actually decide to pneumatic drill across the road next to the Tesco Local. Why on earth that couldn't  be done at night I'll never know. Kelham Island was a no go area and bumper to bumper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yeah, I didn't say I wouldn't use them right now did I genius... Before the roadworks they didn't look like great cycle lanes and I would have avoided that road given the option.
