Are they determined not to have the traffic flowing??? Lights on Blackheath lane, and the works were actually on the grass verge and not on the road as hubby came past...

Enjoying a drop of red.
Yes but they have to park their vans on the road.
We can't have them inconvenienced now can we.

Whats it like on Beaconside nowadays , going from Marston road towards Stone road Islands (Redhill? )?
Normally go down to Lloyds Island and back up the Eccleshall road to the motorway, but AA live traffic website is showing problems around that part at the moment ....

It tends to vary with no real set pattern apart the obvious rush hour traffic.
Quite often the bus has to come the wrong way through Parkside estate and turn round because of jams up to the lights by the 2nd Parkside turning.
There's only one set of lights now for that junction so it is a bit quicker than when they had the three way lights. Plus there a pedestrian crossing set of lights by the new estate but I've not seen them change yet.
If you join Beaconside at the Common road it doesn't take long to get through the lights going westwards.
Probably best to check the route planner just before you set off to be honest.

It can be very difficult, especially at in/out times.
Google "stafford traffic" for the current state of the red lines, just before you decide.
It can be a toss-up....

Thanks @Gramaisc and @Thehooperman , think I'll head back across town and get on at J13 instead then as I'm going southbound anyway. Still got red lines from Lloyd's Island at the moment.

Glad I asked on here before setting off. Had a good 13 minute journey from Astonfields to J13 via W'ton Rd at midday, rather than jumping on at J14 as I usually do from hubbys work.

I was supposed to go to see an old dear in Brooklands today - gave up.
One car per (very slow) lights change out of Browning Street.
Looked at Rowley Street - queue back to Marston Road.
Beaconside (north end) doesn't exist in my world any more.
Came home.
Changed plans and went to Ranton and back - via Doxey.
