I notice B'Burn road has gone from double yellow lines to single on that stretch - Wonder why.

[quote=BLACKBURN RAVER;652033]i work for a traffic managemnet firm and beleive me the signs would have been up notifying drivers etc, all you have to do is open your eyes and read instead of blaming everybody else....

Sorry but thats tripe, I do a lot of miles around here, and whenever there are roadworks, there are never enough notices, I for one am fed up of coming across roadworks with signs right on top of them, but no forwarning of them, roads or lanes closed for hours or even days, and you rarely see anybody actually working, roadworks where there should be lights because one side of the road is closed, but traffic are left fighting each other, especially at rush hour, whenever I pass a hole in the road (like the one on willows lane now, top roundabout) the signs are in the hole, and nobody has been near it for at least a week.

You couldnt possibly be thinking it is something to do with the ethnics down there parking all over the place could you?

Well they still have done nothing about the road breaking up on oxford street junction, they have at long last filled in the hole at the roundabout on willows lane,

But when I got home last night, they have dug up the street in two places, one almost outside my house, and one further down, no warning at all, and no roadworks triangles before you turn into the street to tell you there is work going on, will see how long it takes to finish this one!

Lets hope it lasts a bit longer than when they did it a couple of months ago

Well, they ripped up Blackburn road/willows lane/oxford street over the weekend, and are resurfacing (again), after several shoddy repairs, when I went down willows lane there was a sign saying 'diversion' sending traffic right at the roundabout before little street, and another sign saying 'road closed ahead', I dutifully turned right and followed the diversion, only to find that the road wasnt closed, and the traffic which was behind me originally, was now ignoring my attempts to get onto Blackburn road!

I dont mind, so long as they do it ONCE, properly! That is my everyday route to and from work, so guess I will find an alternative for a few weeks.

reading it its only closed for 4 actual days over the time so probably not as bad as it sounds.

Charter street has just been done and that too was hardly closed when it mattered
