When that junction was built traffic levels were much lower. Parkside junctions are just as bad and with all this development going on it's only going to get worseThe Tollgate junction is lethal - I only ever turn left - in, or out. Why the traffic lights were installed on the next, far less busy, junction will always be a mystery, especially now that the ambulances are based in Tollgate...
It's pretty obvious that Beaconside from Weston Rd to M6 J14 will be permanently gridlocked in daylight hours if/when these houses are built. All the junctions will be solid and no-one will be able to get out of the estates unless they walk. Nice work, planners.
It needs to be 60, not 50. 50 is too slow and people regularly chunter along at under 40.I can understand that it is an extra-urban road, but the speed limit needs to be 40 not 50.

Some people need to drive better or hang up the keys. The rest of us shouldn't be punished with even longer journey times because a small minority are incompetent drivers.
All main Roads through stafford should be 40 cars have become much safer since the 30 limit was introduced. Hgv's are getting a speed increase soon from 40 to 50 on single carriageways as they are now safer than 40 years ago
You got that from 2 sentences?They really really shouldn't I know it will be a shock to you but there are other living things to consider in this world apart from selfish car driver; like pedestrians and cyclists. Getting hit by a car doing 40 mph has significantly more negative affect on a human body than at 30mph.
Ever tried crossing the Eccleshall Road with a toddler and a dog at the speed the cars already travel despite the 30mph limit? No, thought not..........
You sound like someone who only ever drives everywhere and thinks that the only people in society that matter are car drivers.
You sound like someone who should use a crossing. Or should have considered crossing roads before getting a dog or child.They really really shouldn't I know it will be a shock to you but there are other living things to consider in this world apart from selfish car driver; like pedestrians and cyclists.

Always someone else's fault, eh?
Cars maybe, have the people who drive them?... cars have become much safer since the 30 limit was introduced.
wing mirrors are designed to detach when they hit a pedestrian also front end of cars have been redesigned to minimize the damage to pedestrians when hit. and just beginning to enter the market is autonomous emergency breaking. which automatically stop the car if contact is about to be made.cars are safer to those inside and outside than 20 years ago fact
You were making a valid argument, up until you posted this. A very silly thing to post.Yes and innocent pedestrians continue to murdered by people driving cars everyday.
