Quote: Morning Glory "I think massive congratulations are in order for the Metro road planners because after another load of 'improvement' work at the Saddle junction they've managed to make it worse again, if that was humanly possible. I'm talking about the approach on the A49 Wigan Rd from Ashton through Goose Green etc and in particular the now merging junction just outside the ATS place. The road from Pemberton on the left used to be traffic light controlled now both roads merge into a two lane road through the lights at the pub. The result, anyone on the main A49 wanting turn left at the fire station to get to Robin Park, the DW or Martland Park has to cross two lanes on the left, then cross a cycle lane. A recipe for accidents and the natural flow takes trafic away from the DW, its a nightmare for locals now for away fans it'll be worse. Its worth driving through just for the comedy value! Wigan must have the worst traffic planning system in the UK, its just awful.'"
I've been wondering if anyone else has noticed this? I keep wondering if it's going to change but when you're coming along Warrington Road and heading to the cinema, it doesn't seem to make sense to have to try and barge into the left lane now or just stop and wait for someone to let you in. If there's no traffic from Pem it's fine but otherwise it's a nightmare.
