A30 Camberley road layout improvement, have your say

[FurryExocet]

I received an email from my Son's school, with a leaflet from Surrey County Council. They are going to be attempting to improve the A30 around Camberley and there is a questionnaire to fill in.

I hadn't seen anything about this, so thought I'd pass it on.
It seems they want to make adjustments to the bus lane, which in my opinion will cause more traffic chaos.

Anyway, here is the link

Hmm - looks like the 40mph speed limit is not long for this world.

Maybe that's how they get people walking and cycling - keep reducing the speed limits to the point where walking and cycling is actually faster?

Probably the plan, but does anyone actually walk or cycle? Certainly not the lazy-arse tw*ts that offer to represent us, and then do nothing we want done!

Not sure how reducing it to 30 would help - isn't that junction (the "blackspot") light controlled anyway? And doing away with the buslane means I won't be able to zip up it during offpeak hours past all the sheep sitting in the right hand lane for 30 mins or so !

Already, driving over 30 might seriously damage your car - given the state of the road surface.

Yeah, people just don't read the signs do they.

That junction had a few accidents recently because the red light for turning right into Frimley road was broken - for many weeks. That seemed to result in quite a few people thinking that they could turn right into oncoming traffic. I use that turning coming home from work and I think I saw two.
