Having looked at the picture of the sign, and read the page it looks like a single overnight closure to sort out the ‘temporary lanes’ then it’ll be slow moving, cone chaos for a year. At least that’s what I assume.A34 Stone Road, Stafford - Holmcroft Road to Balfour Grove. - Staffordshire County Council

Nothing about diversion routes..
A34 Stone Road - northbound closure - A34 Stone Road, A34 Greyfriars, A5013 Eccleshall Road, A34 CreswellNothing about diversion routes..
I think car drivers in general take leave of their senses.It's more the idiots who block the roundabout so that the ones on the eccelshall road can't get through
But not designed for heavy traffic and speeding drivers. You are exactly the type of person who causes issues. Side roads aren't there to improve your journey times at the expense of all the residents who have to try and live their lives, and children who should be able to play out, before we even get on to noise and air pollution. Side roads should not be pressure release valves for traffic that should be on trunk roads.Zero issues with people using side roads to improve their journey times. They’re public roads available to all, not just residents.
You’re the type of person who is self-entitled enough to think the publicly maintained roadway outside your house belongs to you. If you want that, go live on Crescent Road etc. Or live in a cul de sac, like me .But not designed for heavy traffic and speeding drivers. You are exactly the type of person who causes issues.

2 accidents yesterday on the roundabout, rediculous!It's more the idiots who block the roundabout so that the ones on the eccelshall road can't get through
Wish there was a rolly eyes thing for your post.....utter rubbish, unless you live on a side Rd that is now a rat run, where cars drive dangerously at 40mph then you have no idea. NIMBY is the word that springs to mind.You’re the type of person who is self-entitled enough to think the publicly maintained roadway outside your house belongs to you.

Roads were made for cars, not kids to play in. Generally side roads aren’t heavily used, but it’s clear that the cars that do use them reduce the number of cars travelling on ‘main roads’ reducing traffic.
Go experience the awful effect of LTN’s on journey times in Birmingham and London to see why having side roads available matters.
No I'm the type of person who doesn't think that car drivers have some sort of god given right to ruin everyone else's lives in pursuit of saving a few minutes. And I'm the type of person who thinks that the needs of the most vulnerable in our society are more important than car drivers and I'm the type of person who thinks on residential roads a mother has a right to get her child out of the car seat without fearing for the life of herself and the child. And roads weren't built for cars, they're transport corridors for all, horses, cyclists, scooters, and others. Roads only appear to be for cars due to cave man attitudes like yours.You’re the type of person who is self-entitled enough to think the publicly maintained roadway outside your house belongs to you.

And before you ask, no I don't live on the same street as @kyoto49 , but I live on a side street that is now a rat run and I live on a dangerous blind corner. Thankfully I have a drive to park on, next door doesn't and their disability car has been written off twice in 7 months. Mine has been written * off once in the last year, which led to me changing my front garden to a drive.Wish there was a rolly eyes thing for your post.....utter rubbish, unless you live on a side Rd that is now a rat run, where cars drive dangerously at 40mph then you have no idea.

We don't live in Birmingham or London, we live in a RURAL TOWN not a city.You’re the type of person who is self-entitled enough to think the publicly maintained roadway outside your house belongs to you. If you want that, go live on Crescent Road etc. Or live in a cul de sac, like me .
