spadge Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Anyone heading towards the M1 j36 closed both ways due to crash. Near the roundabout for taybarns etc. Plenty of ambulances and fire engines there. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Terrible that round about, I see near misses every day. People from the Stocksbridge side use the wrong lanes heading toward the M1 south, cutting people up who are using the correct lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 They've redone the roundabout three times at least, and still the layout\signage is wrong coming from Tankersley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 There is no sign approaching the roundabout to say what lane to be in, thats the main problem. The only indication is markings on the road at the roundabout itself. It's often so busy you can't see those markings as a car/van/truck will be covering them most of the time, so people often find themselves in a the wrong lane and don't realise until half-way around the roundabout. Up until very recently the markings were so badly worn you couldn't read them anyway, but some fresh paint has not done anything to solve the problem.

Totally agree - I use that road on and off, maybe months/years between use and I always have to look at the markings on the road to get in the right lane, it's not obvious and should be signposted.

I reported it to the HA, they said that there will be alterations to the roundabout soon so nothing will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansforyou Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 When did they say that, before or after the last alterations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
