    Stafford Traffic.

    I'm not lazy, I just LIKE driving! I enjoy driving so much that sometimes I even just get in my car and drive off into the countryside for an hour and blast along the roads, but when I'm trying to get somewhere at a certain time it is bloody annoying to constantly be stuck in jams. As for...

    Stafford Traffic.

    I queue to get through the various road works in Stafford, then queue to get through Stone and finally Longton Road in Trentham has been on 1 way temporary lights for the past 8 weeks... all in all, a journey that used to be 25 mins is regularly taking almost an hour most days and on 3-4...

    Stafford Traffic.

    If the majority of journeys are local and it is the reluctance of these people to travel by foot, cycle or bus that means the congestion is worsened for those people that 'have' to drive through town then surely building selected new main roads to by-pass the town centre area completely would...

    Stafford Traffic.

    The traffic is bad, the road structure is bad, the number of lights in succession in some areas is awful and the numpty drivers don't help... so I will moan and moan because I have to sit in it twice a day and it's fecking annoying cos plenty could be done to relieve the pinch points if the...

    Where is the best chippy in Stafford?

    No problems here, only go 5-6 times a year but always nice (usually have battered sausage, mini chips and curry sauce)

    Accident on Beaconside 15.09.14

    if it was the pedestrians fault, I'd send THEM the bill for a new wing mirror, why should I pay £500 if they were careless or stupid?

    Chiquito Bar and Mexican resturant coming to Stafford

    I'm happy that they're coming as the town needs more variety, whether the demand is there or not is another matter. I'll give it a go as it'll be local but based on a quick look at the menu I don't expect it to replace my bi-monthly trips to Castro's at Cheddleton for a proper Mexican/latin...

    The Underground on Stone Road - Has anyone been?

    That's a roundabout - it's got 2 entries/exits. 2 is 'multiple'.....

    The Underground on Stone Road - Has anyone been?

    A roundabout is a type of traffic junction whereas an island is a raised area in the road usually either to provide pedestrians refuge when crossing a busy road or to seperate traffic flows. If it's a junction where vehicles circulate clockwise with multiple entries/exits then it's a roundabout...

    The Underground on Stone Road - Has anyone been?

    Not to be even more pedantic but it's actually a roundabout not an island.

    post house cocaine snorting lol

    Agreed, I remember years back needing to use the sit down loo at the Void in Hanley and their policy was simply to have no locks on the doors so there I am with my kecks round my ankles and the bouncer just barged in as in his opinion I'd been in there too long and was up to no good!

    Indeed, just the fear that you might be being watched is a strong deterent to any toilet abuse

    Planning and traffic in Stafford.... terrible?

    I've wondered if using faster cars would reduce waiting times..... If you need more throughput then you have 2 options - speed up the flow or increase capacity - so for traffic it's either increase the flow by having faster cars (with enforced minimum speed limits) or smaller cars OR if...

    I'd (perhaps wrongly) assumed that the holes would be drilled in the cubicle doors so that there is less privacy to stand around racking up lines in the first place.
