    Don’t talk wet. It’s as bad as it has always been and doesn’t look like it’s going to improve due to these “improvements”.

    I’m staying positive about these junction changes as I hope things improve in the long term. I’m not totally convinced but I don’t think it will be worse.
    However, I do have two queries which I can’t seem to answer looking at the information… anyone any ideas….

    1) There is no mention of an ‘additional continual lane’ going from the A483 Westbound onto A55 .. but there is mention of some general lane changes. Does anyone know what is happening there? I appreciate the majority traffic is going Eastbound, but it would still help and would seem obvious?

    2) Who are the people looking to cross the A55 on a footbridge? I don’t think I have ever seen pedestrians around there? The need to install one?

    Any reasonable comments or thoughts?
    Thanks

    1) Dunno, sorry.

    2) I’ve seen the odd jogger and cyclist but only on rare occasions.

    The Highways agency MUST provide the ability for all forms of transport to travel a route (including what they describe as Non-Motorised Users). So they need the bridge so people, bikes, horses etc can cross the A55 if required as the (very small) pavements/verges will disapear from the roundabout

    Not related to the above, but am I correct in thinking that the temporary traffic lights on the Wrexham Road roundabout are not synch’d correctly. Seems to be that both the Pulford Rd ( B5445) & A483 sets are on Red simultaneously way too long ?

    Thanks Swatty .. I did wonder if it’s a “must do” type of exercise …

    Moggsie.. You are right I suspect. As they are temporary lights I don’t believe there is any intelligence in them and this I suspect is the whole reason for the current delays. I don’t understand why they haven’t been put under manual control at the peak times at least. On a basic timer they do not know how many cars are waiting at a junction so cars are left waiting unnecessarily at times.

    Its funny how Wrexham.com and Leaderliver.co.uk are quoting the start of the new phase as being the issue. There is no evidence of this new phase yet. This issue is that the temp lights were placed there just before xmas while traffic was light.

    The lights are required, but need some help at peak times!
