A1/A69 roundabout faded lane markings, 5th March

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 20:11:27 +0000
54.984872 -1.693402

Lane markings faded. Cars swerving from lane to lane almost causing accidents. Unless you have local knowledge drivers can't tell which lane they need to be in. Has been like this for years and needs addressing. The last two days I've nearly had accidents from people swapping lanes due to no markings.

Traffic lights sequencing/synchronisation, 24th January

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 15:17:10 +0000
54.985178 -1.694392

The issue surrounds eastbound traffic at the junction of the A69 with the A1. The lights are out of sequence which results in the restriction of the flow of traffic in attempting to join the A1. As a result, the eastbound traffic backs up on a regular basis for over a mile. This issue has been ongoing for over one year and bearing in mind that traffic beyond the lights has been moving freely. The lights sequence needs adjusting to accommodate the heavier flow of traffic eastbound.

The traffic light on the South bound slip road, going down from the roundabout, hanging off hinges, 3rd February

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 16:54:56 +0000
54.984487 -1.693535

The traffic light on the South bound slip road, going down from the roundabout, hanging off hinges. Has been for months. I though someone would check something so important. People often run this red light and as someone who crosses there twice a day as a pedestrian, it's quite something. No wonder: the thing is hanging off and stays up only thanks to some wires. (incidentally, what are these instructions under the box: 'be polite' - am I eleven?)

The traffic lights stop working each morning, 23rd January

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 18:22:03 +0000
54.984886 -1.69446

The traffic lights on the A1 north slip road onto the A1/a69 roundabout don't change every time like they do normally at none peak hours. We live in the estate adjacent and therefore are familiar with the sequence (when the Central roundabout lights to allow continue onto the A1 north are green so are the ones at the end of the slip road). When the issue happens the lights change every three-five cycles and this happens nearly daily at around 8am/8.30am and causing a large issue including tailbacks on to the A1 and also blocks up the roundabout when it is then having to be used as a roundabout (unless you want to sit there for nearly 20mins rather than go through a red light). It has been happening for at least the last 6 months, but it is becoming more common, happening both on Friday and then again this morning. It needs to be sorted as a very serious accident is likely to occur due to the speed of cars coming around the roundabout from the A1 south and the a69 (West road) heading west. Furthemore, a 15minute journey took me 35mins this morning due to the traffic caused, adding to air pollution issues and also creating impatience with drivers, likely increasing the risk of an accident!
