Most of my colleagues are absolutely raging about it. What a joke.
Tn, come on, you're asking them to be sensible and do what is best.They should have made a dual carriageway to Norcross, widened the bridge, kept the existing 2 roundabouts (with no traffic lights). The bypass should come out at the motorway junction and Mains Lane should remain open. No change was needed to that road other than easier access to the garage. Garstang Rd up to the Shell station should have 2 lanes westbound.
Seems like the incompetence is unrelenting. Emphasis is on the few pedestrians rather than thousands of traffic flow. Sod the motorists- let them queue.
The only benefit this new multi million pound bypass will bring is to the owners of the multi million pound houses on Mains Lane, they will benefit massively as will their house prices.
All this multi million pound bypass will do for the rest of us plebs is cause two bottle necks one at Skippool which is already happening and the 2nd at Windy Harbour again.
Whoever made the decision that this would aid traffic flow by installation of another set of traffic lights, which stop traffic flow should be forced to sit in these jams they have created every single morning from 7:30 till 9:00 and every single evening between 4:30 and 6:30 - t055ers
It's National Highways, formerly Highways England. The same organisation that gave us Smart Motorways which have caused so many deaths.
Ah you mean National Highways, the rebranded shitshow which was formerly known as Highways England. Not the public sector at its best. And whatever anyone says, it is the public sector. Surprisingly they contract out this sort of work to some of the best design engineers in the industry. But usually so they have someone else to blame.
Sorry just seen your reply!!!! Yes I agree.
I have a property between Singleton village and the junction.
So did some of the best design engineers in the industry come up with the death traps which are smart motorways?
Even when the lights are working correctly, that new Norcross roundabout is shite! I avoid it when I'm on my motorbike
I now know which lane to be in, anyone who doesn’t takes their life in their hands
Yes once you've used it a few times, you suss out how to use it properly. But unfortunately other people don't, especially ones who
Even knowing which lane you’re supposed to be in, coming from the Skipool roundabout to norcross, you have a choice of two lanes which filter into one, it’s a recipe for disaster
And virtually speed camera free.Move to Fylde. Much better traffic management
Back when the Highways Agency was called Highways England, yes. But the original concept was changed to become the even greater death trap that they are now. And then some genius overlooked it was the National Highways’ clowns who would have operational control.
They will still get the noise from the traffic.The only benefit this new multi million pound bypass will bring is to the owners of the multi million pound houses on Mains Lane, they will benefit massively as will their house prices.

It’s been bad for a while but the temporary lights have made it worse. Not that there’s an end in sight, because it will then become permanent lights on a road which already has too much traffic to cope. I’ve no problem with pedestrian crossings, but never on a roundabout - move them to around the corner of the junctions for the handful of people who might need it.
To be fair it's only a cash cow if you can't stick to 30mph through the village.
Yes noticed that.
Yes. The old camera has gone. Replaced by about 8 of these new cameras. That would be my guess. They certainly look like others I’ve seen. They go all the way up to Moy vets, where speed limit changes along that stretch. It will catch loads out.
I’ve heard the average speed cameras are going all the way through from Hambleton to Pilling
60 quid if they go through them both
Apparently they are ‘working in the fields’
My mum knows someone that happened to.

Would love to see someone try and get a wheelchair up & down that gigantic unnecessary footbridge. Reckon Luke Stoltman would only make the first side.
Average speed check now from Hambleton to Cockerham.
Average speed from Windy Harbour to Skippool: 1mph
It’s a well used and known route used by bikers.So no surprise they’ve put average speed cameras up. They’ll make a fortune.
Where are these Neil?
Unfortunately nothing so grand, but with the latest camera technology they also take fabulous pictures inside the vehicle. As the two people I work with can testify. One captured with no seat belt and the other using a mobile phone. The picture was that clear you could even see the make of phone he had in his hand.
Thanks NeilHere:

It's proper snide. Go down Market Street (the 2nd half of it) £30 fine. Turn left onto Church Street £30 fine. They're classed as 2 different zones.
