Clay Cross roadworks

[Sorastro]

Went to Tesco C/C this morning traffic was queuing back from the Tesco petrol station r/bout right back to near the Royal Oak pub so did a u turn and went through Holmgate.
They have the traffic lights on the island working now and it's absolute bedlam, we were there about 8:45 am so if your going to C/C or just passing through stick to the side roads.

I used Hepthorne Lane way to get to Tesco. I had a text from my gp advising to set off early or lose appointment because  of this issue.

The r/bout at Tesco petrol station has new traffic lights and has recently had road markings put on it which looks like a mini version of Horns bridge r/about.

That's the trouble IT'S TOO SMALL!! you get two cars on the r/about waiting at the lights and the r/about is full, it's going to cause bedlam. Horns bridge is a pain in the rear but at least it has the size on it's side.

I actually laughed when I first saw all the lights round that roundabout.
It looked ridiculous.
Yesterday on my way back from the vets heading towards Tupton they were ON.
I was fortunate as my approach was on Green so apart from a slow crawl up to them I went through ok.
The other way from Tupton there were vehicles stood all the way to the MacDs roundabout.
I'll be using Hepthorne Lane way into Clay Cross more often!7
