  DDC have just published a planning application for a Costa drive thru outlet in Snargate Street.This might pose some more interesting traffic situations on this very busy road

  The last makeover of the Union Street junction included traffic lights for the premises.

  I hope a queue there doesn’t end up blocking the road like Big Macs does at Whitfield!

  I think those traffic lights at the junction from the planned site will seriously effect the traffic flow… was not the idea of removing the roundabout to speed up traffic flow…

  Call me cynical, but you might be onto something there! DHB and DDC know the queues are not going to get any better, you wait until ESS comes in!

  The roundabouts were removed, I thought, to prevent rejected outbound trucks doing a 180 and forcing their way back into the queue.
