Road fun

Bit o'fun on the Worcester Road last night, we hit scenario three with the traffic from the island backing up to the lights and flowing over it. This in turn pushed the traffic from the lights to the island and should have eased it off if it wasn't for some selfless individual who had left a gap for the Hartlebury Road traffic to get through. Some of the outgoing traffic got so fed-up they tried to drive past those blocking the single lane by driving up the dirt side of the road, which sadly would only work up to a certain point before you would be forced back onto the main road... or at least you would be if there weren't cars blocking your way. Anyway so far we've been lucky, but this is what happens when you get a bit more traffic flowing through, well, our entire town; everything starts to jam.

On the Millfields estate side, I mentioned they'd raised some of the drains and manholes in preparation for some road-laying, well I've been told they've come back and lowered the drains on the grounds that it's 'unlikely anything will be done for a couple of years', note they haven't lowered the manholes (yet) which are the biggest problems to cars driving along. I might have some more news on this, but for the moment I've been asked to keep stum.
