Acton Trussell lanes were closed off with barriers a few weeks ago as well on the A449 / Jct 13 area when we went to B'ham airport a few weeks ago !Only ideas I can come up with;
- Beaconside - convert to dual carriageway - likely couldn't happen now with all the homes being built, may have helped with creation of an eastern bypass by continuing Beaconside passed fire station to Tixall Road (to avoid Blackheath Lane / A518) then continue it along and join at Milford / Shugborough.
- Newport Road - add connection to M6 - may reduce traffic going through town center to reach north / south junctions.
- Convert to one way - Eccleshall Road north and Stone Road south.
- New road joining Castletown and Doxey - move traffic away from town center (avoid Station Rd / Tesco).
- New road between A449 at Acton Gate to A34 around Seven Stars pub - move traffic away from town center.
Many of these do have lanes / rat runs already but rely on local knowledge, without looking at map I have no idea how to do the latter (Mill Lane to Acton Hill Rd).
Is the the inbound diverson along the A34 in place now,as advertised on boards to start on 24th September? (Got a dentist appointment at 8am to tomorrow...)
Even when going on foot , the pavements are closed off down the A34 by the new Aldi that's being built ... seems just because they can (causing more traffic having to stop the traffic on the pedestian crossings 4 times to cross over and back each way.)
