Can anyone explain to me why there aren't red light cameras and a yellow box at this junction?

Complete nightmare to try to cross into the Wolverhampton Road from Asda during rush hour.

You obviously don't get out too much do you @Trumpet but when you do I reckon you can't half straddle and shrug your shit?

It's all in the transition from straddle to shrug, take a few extra seconds on that and it all falls into place.
But you can't tell today's kids that, they're all too impatient. Straddling when they could be shrugging, shrugging when they should be straddling.

Even if there was, it wouldn't make any difference.

I used to talk to myself

But we fell out

On driving Queensway towards the Gaol Square island, the traffic people have put signs up to tell people which of the 2 lanes they need to be in.

Right lane for Gaol Road
Left lane for A34 to Cannock - *facepalm*

It's even worse than that!
Left Lane A34 Cannock but Right Lane says Chell Road!

Amerton Farm has declared that they won't be open tomorrow.

Pictures of the area suggest that is a good call - the main road past there looks fairly dodgy, to say the least.

Doxey to Seighford road just about negotiable with care. One stranded motorist being rescued by the RAC earlier.

Anyone know when Sandon Road last flood at the Corporation Street lights?

Anyone know when Sandon Road last flood at the Corporation Street lights?

I have seen it there before, a few times, but it's hard to remember details now, and the last few years have largely 'disappeared' in time - I would say it was probably around 2010 or earlier, but in the early part of this century. Maybe the time of the first picture House flood in the Wetherspoons era?

I was going to pop round and how much, if anything, was being stored in the Astonfields ponds, but it was a bit to dismal for me to attempt such a fruitless venture.

I'm pretty certain it flooded in June 2007. The month when it poured down almost every single day.

We need to get to a wedding at Weston Hall today, but I saw videos of Blackheath lane flooded yesterday - anyone know if that's still the case or if getting to Weston Hall is going to be tricky?

 

[PeterD]

It's flooded down to there in the last 10 years Corporation St lights. I recall the year it got to Victoria Terrace it went on further down to the lights. October 2019. If it didn't get it all the way down, that was the last bad flooding.

You could go via Sandon Road and Hopton

3 way traffic lights at Sandon (just by Dog and Doublet) avoid if you can

 

[Theresa Green]

Queensway now in flood at the Primark roundabout

M&S car park closed

Yes, along Within Lane.
