WiseOwl182 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 This week, Netherthorpe Road is so much busier than normal. Around 7:30am I can usually whiz down to Shalesmoor roundabout, but all week it's been queued right back up to the University roundabout. No obvious reason. Nightmare.

ChrisT70 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Its all part of the planning dept bigger scheme. You will eventually get so frustrated you abandon using your car and jump on one of the many many empty buses. Or not, as the case may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwl182 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Apparently it was a broken down vehicle blocking a lane off near Shalesmoor. I'd taken an alternative rat run as soon as I saw what awaited my exit from University roundabout, luckily. That explains this morning but not other mornings this week, and evenings are worse too - Monday was in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooman Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Some people have been commenting that there's a lane closed at the station which is having a knock on effect around the area but I'm not sure. It's quite a way from the station. Took my husband an hour and a half to get into work on Monday that normally takes 20 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchcoll Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I was wondering what was happening on Upper Hanover up to Brookhill roundabout yesterday afternoon at about 14.30pm. It was backed all the way onto the roundabout where Waitrose is, blocking traffic coming off Eccy Rd. Don't know if it was queuing past Brook hill onto Netherthorpe too but never seen it that busy in the middle of the afternoon before. Going the other way was completely clear.

s6chris Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hanover Way has been affected by the closure of Clarkson Street and tends to snarl up at random times. It could also be related to the chaos that ensues when Weston Park Hospital car park gets full and traffic backs up Whitham Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyM Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Why don't you all just use the buses or trams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwl182 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Why don't you all just use the buses or trams? I can't speak for others but for me personally: - Trams don't go from or to where I need to go - Buses would involve 2 changes and take around 3 times longer than driving to my usual place of work - I occasionally need a car for work purposes - I like my own space - Buses get stuck in the same jams as cars anyway in most cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hots on Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Its about time that there was some sort of independent analysis of and accountability for the increasing amount of avoidable traffic hold ups in Sheffield. If the council is found to be deliberately trying to frustrate people out of cars and onto public transport then the relevant council department should be cleared out and put into special measures by central government. ---------- Post added 24-06-2015 at 14:30 ---------- Why don't you all just use the buses or trams? Imagine if EVERYONE did that? it would be like this http://lolindian.com/images/2012/June/24/4fe6e885344dc.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
