Again?

Nothing but accidents there since they started shortening the roads adjusting the flow of traffic etc.
Just leave things alone, it was fine the way it was until they messed things up.

A spokesman for Merseyside Police has told Mersey Magazine there are no serious injuries from the three car crash on the Tesco roundabout at Biston as the drivers were all described as “walking wounded”

One carriageway is closed temporarily

Anyone know why none of the lights around the roundabout work? It seems to have been like that for months but nothing seems to be gettin done about it

I can't believe how many people blame the roads. If you drive safely then you won't crash...

ditto. Nothing wrong with B/Q roundabout if you read the lane changes watch for the light changing. There are no dangerous roads. Only danger, the driver that doesn't read the road.

withthat withthat withthat

The council do seem to feck up junctions that were working perfectly well. Arrowe Park roundabout anyone? Woodchurch Road, where the motorway slip road joins it?
Someone is getting a backhander from the traffic light manufacturers!

They are used to let construction traffic through and also to let the workers cross from one side to the other. Ive seen them used a few times!

Precisely! They're [i]temporary[/] lights and used when needed.
