Kingswood Robin Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 It's on my route and a right pain. Thanks for the warning. That looks like a permanent loss of the filtering lane to the left. Do you know if that's the case? Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Damned they have narrowed that road a lot, why does the new pavement need to extend so far - it's a really busy junction as well.... now I guess going to be even busier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it will,at the moment the left turn is basically an L shape,once finished longer vehicles will have more space to swing around the corner,and as a driver of longer vehicles I think it will be much better.Bit boring I know,but definite improvement.

Hopefully, it's a cock up that no one at the council spotted. If not, traffic wanting to turn right will be well and truly buggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to the dark side Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I only caught the double decker bus to get a some decent photos,very difficult from a single decker. Its even more difficult from the comfort of your own car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkedarm wall Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Urgh! I go two ways usually, Hartcliffe Way or this way. I'd planned this way due to whats going on at Hartcliffe Way, time to re-think! Too many ways, anyway.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Was a bit of chaos earlier. Cars did not stop at the light but the the old land markings, cars started tailing back when a lorry needed to turn.. the could not fit, car's could not reverse as there were 20+ tailed back, Lorry had nowhere to go.... walked away shaking my head wondering if they would all still be there tonight on my way to AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get out on the bypass and then back to mine that way. Will be longer in miles but save my sanity I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me 13 minutes to get from Knowle to Coronation Road last week......not sure Hartcliffe Way and Winterstoke Road would have been any quicker.

Dollymarie Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Even the one way set up of Hartcliffe Way is screwed now as they've narrowed the lanes, so the turn left or right bit by Parson St only has one lane available, so even when the lights change for you to turn left, if there's too many people waiting to turn right, nothing moves until the lights go green for that turn.

Dollymarie Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 The road that runs past the park to get up the slip road to get up to the Cumberland Basin was way worse than it usually is. New road was lovely but it took me longer to get home than usual for the reasons I've just mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
