Just traffic

Well the paucity of traffic yesterday morning was made up for last night when I joined the unmoving queue in Worcester Road. I ended up turning around and heading through the Holts; always a joy driving down the unlit narrow twisting roads especially when it's drizzling and the road is wet. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank the car behind me who took exception to my driving at 30mph (and sometimes a little slower) in a 30mph limit during such conditions and sat on my bumper for most of the trip.

So accident, roadworks, alien invasion; nope just SVOT - Sheer Volume Of Traffic. The as per usual confluence of two major roads at an island, combined with a merger system that only works when there's not much traffic using it, and a set of traffic lights that (almost) never allow a lane to clear. All good fun, which of course will get better this Friday night when we have the Three Kings parade through town at 6pm.

Always good to hold up the traffic when everyone's trying to get home from work, especially with the extra traffic generated from the Black Bridge roadworks. Sprinkle in the crowds using the roads as pavements long after the procession has passed and a good time is had by all - unless you're driving through it.
