This morning – Contractors installing three way temporary traffic lights – Hallcroft Road, Plough Road & A605 – close proximity to West End Stores.
Work hadn’t started but traffic queued back to Sir Harry Smith’s entrance, Cemetery Road & Kellyvision roundabouts grid locked.
Drivers couldn’t see if there is an emergency ie water flooding the road or any gas signs but only the contractors standing around watching the chaos and didn’t appear to have any urgency to start work .. this just added fuel to the fire !
Usual permit for street works – hours of work between 9.30am – 3.00pm/4.00pm, especially along A605.
No one at Whittlesey Town Council had been informed of these works, I can only presume they were of an emergency of some type.
This afternoon around 16:00 the traffic at Kellyvision was normal but I could see ‘Orange Flashing Lights at West End. The issues would be at peak periods.
There has been comments about the ‘new’ Inter-active’ Signage being ‘Blank’ no information – as is usual it is only as good as the people controlling the Inter-Active Signs.
