Roadworks

So many roadworks or our roads. Traffic lights everywhere with long queues & irate motorists!
House building mostly so gas & electricity cables.
These ones here are on the main road at the bottom of our garden.
We turn left in the foreground but there is a four way traffic light system so a long wait.
Last weekend the lights failed & it was a nightmare with cars on the grass leaving ruts.

This week it’s all moved further down the road I’ve been told. Bus stops will be able to be reinstated.

[Beryl Lloyd]

They seem to be everywhere Pat. And yes, very often to provide services to new housing estates . Making every journey more difficult with temp. Traffic lights. (Sorry for sounding like a grouchy old woman!!ha !

Roadwork - such an annoying thing but an inevitable and necessary part of life in the city.

[Sarah Bremner]

What an interruption to usual rhythm!
We're on a main road with lots of housebuilding going on close by ....long queues when traffic lights at red!!!
Love your blue sky though. We had grey mist and 🌧️☔ all day. But I had all my gardening gear on and went out anyway. 😄

I hope it isn't there for too long.

There is only one road in and out of the bay from here to Newcastle and when they were turning a single road into a dual carriageway the journey was so slow. It is finished about three months ago, but it was a long job. We often say 'Australia will be nice when it's finished' ha ha

[Phil Howcroft]

[John Falconer]

Nice news shot. Well spotted.

[Carole Sandford]

Same here too Pat! Horrendous at times!

[Maggiemae]

No longer a sleepy little village that you live in!

[Boxplayer]

Endless endless roadworks

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, dear, my brother is always complaining about that in Kent, too!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae well definitely not the quiet lane we lived in befire but we are classed as a small village but next to a busier road. It’s only a two lane road as you can see but it’s bedlam at the moment!

[Brian]

Oh my. Trust this is over very soon.

[Sue Cooper]

Roadworks seem to be everywhere ☹️
