Gridlock

[kopitegaz]

Getting out of town was a nightmare this evening. Got on bus in Victoria street at 5.45. Should have been home around half an hour later. Didnt get home until 7.40.

 

What are other cities like in this respect? It seems in Liverpool, if one main road is blocked, it fucks up the rest of it.

 

Good job I don't live any further than 6 miles away from the City centre.

Gridlock is exactly right KG

 

Every morning & night Edge Lane / Prescot Road are a nightmare.

 

I also read in the Echo last night that Breeze Hill will be down to one lane either way over the Queens Drive flyover till Xmas. Bet the shops in the Strand are thrilled with that.

I go down edge lane at 9am on Thursdays and 8am on Friday, there is never much stopping when it merges going in to town. Also i come back at like 4 and 5 and it's not too bad.

If it comforts you any Gaz you can probably rest assured that if you were 2 hours late getting home it's because someone, somewhere didn't make it or were still being cut out of their car.

Well thanks for making out like I'm some heartless cunt. I had no idea what the problem on the road was. There were no police out and no wreckage was apparent. Obviously whatever problems with traffic congestion were on my route home were a consequence of something on one of the other routes out of town.

 

Cheers anyway, for now making me feel like shite.

Dont know what way you go but there are/were temporary lights at the end of west derby road which were causing murder yesterday

Heard off a few people getting out of town was a nightmare tonight.

 

Its always bad though, the road system is a joke.

[Nick Leeson]

It's winter. The roads are less safe, people are in a rush to get home and driving like idiots; If there's no match or anything on then what else is going to cause a 2-hour delay other than unsafe driving conditions and accidents? Today was the first sub-zero day so far this winter.

 

I saw 4 accidents between Speke and Aigburth and heard of a few more that people were phoning into the radio stations.

 

If you feel bad about it now that's your problem, but seriously what else did you think was causing it?

[The-Sir]

In all fairness, the only reason for the delays today was that there were roadworks on Edge Lane. I was stuck in them for fucking 60 - 70 minutes. And apparently its gonig to be the same tomorrow, so thanks all the same but I'm staying in the flat all day getting munted.

Sheffield is exactly the same Gaz. One incident and the whole city grinds to a halt. One of the reasons I try and be in the office before 7am. I can do the journey in 8mins at that time in the morning but after 8am it takes 35mins.

 

I think it may be Gordon Brown's fault, but that's another thread!

[mattyq]

It's like that everywhere.

The M40 was closed lst night for 2 hours so any poor commuter fuck that leavs London that way was stuck.

Such is life

[Fink]

Sheffield was once brought to a 3 hour stand still due to a single land rover breaking in an area callked the Wicker. Rain regularly kills the city.

 

5 major roundabouts backed up - causing complete carnage.

 

Thank god I dont start work at 8 or 9 anymore

[Tom R]

Whenever I get stuck in traffic for more than an hour, a tiny and very evil part of me almost hopes that some fucker better had have died for this shit.

 

 

See you in hell.

[Tom R]

Fink, rain has the same effect in Leeds. It's a fucking joke.

 

The floor is wet!!! So fucking what!! Just drive on it!!!!

 

honestly, a slight sprinkling and the entire city centre grinds to a fucking halt.

Personally, I blame women.

[T0RRES]

Think it was due to some road work issue by the Grafton, madness i was stuck ion the flyover then all the way up to the Grafton area, just went left made my way onto breck road, fucking nightmare though feel sorry for you on the bus as well.
