Reckleford Traffic Lights Yeovil

When walking across the bottom of Eastlands Road with Green man showing, cars can still appear across the lights from Wyndham Street.


The junction from Wyndham Street is signed and laid out so that traffic is not allowed into Eastlands Road and cars should only go towards Yeovil hospital or Sherbourne.

There is enough space in the layout for cars to easily get across the junction in to Eastlands Road and take unsuspecting pedestrians by surprise crossing on the green man.

I am sure this will soon be resolved now it has been raised as an issue with the council.

Do you have any comments on these lights?

Reckleford - Roadworks

The Traffic lights are at last working and the temporary lights have gone.

Will be interesting to see how the traffic flows, there is still some work to do adjacent to the shops to create the new layout.

Wessex water appear to be moving away from next to the Ambulance station, so there should be a free run through with out road works in the way.

Reckleford roadworks again

Its good to see that the Reckleford road works have been left in a fit for purpose state over the Christmas break a small handwritten sign indicating that you can now form two lanes on the new piece of road (Watch out for the roadwork's the other side of the new layout by the Ambulance station!)
 Traffic chaos has hit the town again as the Temporary lights that replaced the original temporary lights have failed (14:30 29-12-09).  The local PCSO's to the rescue, 3 PCSO's now controlling the traffic I am sure that their time and any overtime will be paid by the main contractor?

Reckleford road works are they Finished?

Reckleford road works are they Finished?   No
Have just seen the road work signs being collected; is the end of the traffic chaos? We will soon see.

Traffic is now using the new road layout, but with a new set of temporary traffic lights, the Queens way seemed to be flowing fine, but the traffic on Middle Street was backed up.

Reckleford

Hate to mention the Reckleford road works again, but at last they seem to be progressing, not sure when the target date to finish is. Lunch time today the traffic was flowing, surprise the traffic lights were off.
The electric guys were working down a hole, the workmen seemed totally oblivious to a problem with the traffic lights I guess not their problem, different department.

Later on today I had to try and navigate the pavement on Sherbourne road (inbound on the left), you don't know the path is closed until you are well into the road works, the signing of the alternate route is really non existent. I decided the safest way to go was to dodge the traffic and cross over to the rear of National Tyres and follow the traffic round to the shop fronts.

The lights were again working and traffic in all directions was very slow.
The Yeovil Night shelter works must be nearly finished, so soon all the illegally parked vans on the traffic light box junction, on the double yellow line and obstructing the pavement will soon disappear.

I am sure that once all the works are finished the traffic will flow and it will be a more pleasant area.

Reckleford Roadworks Yeovil

Reckleford is still a hive of activity does anyone know when the the completion date is? The Yeovil vision website mentions late Oct 2009, well we are nearly there!

Having witnessed the queues on the Queensway the opening won't come soon enough.
