Or maybe a Bailey Bridge, didn't we have one of those a "few" years ago?

Old Bailey?

My friend runs a pub near there

That sign is a long way to one side of the road. By the time you're in a position to look around for it, having just swung right out of Mill Street, you'll be stopped at the line at the roundabout and the sign is side-on to you. It might be better where a driver might see it a more easily.

Stone has got one, and there's a Stafford link.

In between Beaconside roundabout and Blackheath Lane, yes.

 

[whitelion]

Thanks.

Another case of Stafford council doing half a job and then coming back to it later on. Don't know why they can't just close the road once and do the work instead of putting up a temporary barrier and then having to shut it again.

I believe that this closure was because the central reservation was placed in slightly the wrong place so it's having to be moved to the correct place.

 

[whitelion]

Lets hope its London!

The A518 Weston Road by @StaffsPolice HQ is now reopened. @PoliceStafford

It''s still in the wrong place. Dangerous for cyclists, as is the silly little roundabout nearby.

Stand by for the "perfectly good cycle track" responses...

since no one is brave enough. why is using this section of road prefered over using the dedicated cycle lane?

Perhaps to avoid having to give way at every junction, when the road has priority? And, possibly, to avoid pedestrians walking in front, as they rarely do on the road?

and they're not legally required to use them. it does make you wonder if the millions spent on them each year is a good use of money. the cycling bridge at baswich being a good example, only used by a couple of dozen people a day

There is a counter on the bridge - not sure if you can see the tally, though.

Largely, these things are just window dressing - some of them are barely usable.

It seems that you could see it, eighteen months ago at least - http://www.staffordforum.com/xf/index.php?threads/your-traffic-solutions.17033/page-8#post-298315 - and that the bridge seemed a bit more popular then - there was a photo of the counter lower down, but the link is dead now.
