New traffic plans - 2006/03/17 17:57Having viewed the revised exhibition, what worries me most is the revised traffic flow plan by ESCC highways. It seems they are replacing old problems with new. The areas which particularly caught my eye are: 1. Travelling down Market St into the one-way system, you will get about 10 yards to switch to the left lane to avoid being sent back round again, otherwise you end up on the new traffic island at the top of East St. 2. To come out of the Waitrose carpark access road, it does not look as though you can turn right, so to get back across the bridge involves a lengthy tour of the town centre. 3. To come out of the Phoenix Quarter, and head towards Chailey/Cooksbridge will involve going all around the town centre.
Anyone else have any ldeas?

Re:New traffic plans - 2006/07/16 20:24The Phoenix proposal make a great deal the the 'Gateway' into the town. This funnels traffic westwards across the Phoenix Causeway into the heart of the town exactly as at present. The redistribution of vehicles that then takes place will do nothing to lessen the numbers of vehicles traveling up School Hill or going along Lancaster Street, Sun Street and Abinger Place. Indeed with the extra population, traffic flows will increase. Angel Properties have not thought this through. they suggest a no right turn coming out of the development into Lancaster Street. So you would then have to go round the one way system, up School Hill and then if going north up the Offham Road - then what? I suggest at little trip down Market Street and left up Market Lane - nice one.
