I used to to walk down to the beauty salon in Milford when the last lot of 'Severn Trent works' was being done. Road closed for months, no workmen actually working in sight, but workmen leaning on machinery texting on phones . Same workmen in the portakabins eating their sarnies and having a chat both on my walk down there and on the way back . A bloke in his tractor sitting reading his paper,towards the end of the roadworks by Milford, waiting for another bloke to walk down all the way to him from Walton Garage (walking in front of me) in order to tell him he can now drive up and start working..........

What we need is something like, oh, I don't know, a Cones Hotline?
08457 504030
I wonder if they still answer it?

"Temporary" lights on Eccleshall Road, by the hotel entrance, due to a coned-off area of tarmac.
I could see no obstruction, other than the cones, lights and signs - no potholes, equipment or anything else that would stop you driving through it as normal.
One has to suspect that they may have just left it to avoid the bother of removing it and setting it up again.
Still zero going on here but lights in place
Also
Not 3 way so traffic leaving the hotel clueless and dangerous
Something must be done!

They've turned off the pedestrian lights, to avoid confliction. Thus making crossing the road there rather entertaining at busier times.Still zero going on here but lights in place

Total contempt for the public.

Another place where people often object to others following the rules is the Gaol Square box junction.
There are "ghost lanes" marked through it with paint spots, but, if you try to actually follow them, you will often get abuse from people who are oblivious of their existence.

Gaol Square is a bit of a clusterfudge in general really. If you're coming from Sainbury's then people don't know whether to be in the middle or (very tight) right lane to go to Asda - it's (maybe) meant to be right lane for Asda and then you move to the middle lane marked "Other Traffic" for the next set. Then there's the Foregate street going towards Asda route where people don't know the lanes either. Apparently a very common one that driving instructors need to drill into people.
It's no good only marking it on the roads if people are covering the markings. The whole gyratory is an absolute mess.

I don't know - it's only a short section and there has been a lot of building work there for the last year - possibly some utility connections?

The signs are either side of that.
