“All the diverted traffic coming through Birchwood caused chaos this morning as both main roads through were gridlocked”

“i can`t help but think the lorry (hgv) drivers should have more practice on how to take a roundabout with a full load beacuse thats where the main accidents happen because the go to fast and lose control they really need to sort it out and quick before someone else dies a tragic death!.”

“even more reason for the eastern bypass to be built sooner, at least then we have the choice to either sit in the traffic hold-up or head the other way around lincoln.”
