FIXMYSTREET IN CA28 7UY
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of CA28 7UY:
Hensingham bypass, 30th April
Hi i am writing to suggest a change to hensingham bypass traffic lights. Coming down from hensingham to the A595 i suggest the left lane be for going left to Egremont as it is but also change it to go to whitehaven town centre as well. The right hand lane should be to go right along the A595 heading towards Workington because the traffic backs up from the lights at the top of inkerman terrace and as it is now cars going into whitehaven town centre cant go anywhere because the lane is blocked and drivers stop in the junction of the traffic lights. The way this junction is set up is causing massive tailbacks especially at teatime.

Flooding when it rains, 12th April
This is a newly laid section of road, we were told it would sort the drainage issues, but whenever there is moderate/heavy rain it floods, I believe worse than before the drainage works.

Traffic lights timings, 23rd February
The traffic lights aren’t changing soon enough - over the past few weeks traffic has become backed up until the roundabout on hensingham square. Traffic is between 20-30 cars long at any one time. My journey time to work is normally around 6 minutes but due to these traffic lights it’s taking 10-12 minutes. As I am waiting there for around 3 minutes for the lights to change.

Traffic lights program is too slow from B5295 leading onto A595 (hensingham bypass), 21st February
The traffic lights appear to be prioritising the A595 traffic over B5295, even when no vehicles are present on the A595.
This is leading to tailbacks going significantly far up the B5295.
When lights do change over (to allow traffic from B5295 to join the A595), the green light is only on for long enough for 5 vehicles at most to pass through.
This can be further exacerbated by the next traffic lights where Inkerman Terrace joins the A595, as traffic backs fully up and even into the junction (which for some reason isn't a box junction).

Traffic light pattern malfunction, 4th February
Traffic light sequence between A595 and B5295 appears to have changed and waits coming from B5295 to join A595 are now unreasonably long. Traffic is not being given green light even when there are large gaps in traffic travelling along A595. This started a few weeks ago, prior to which there were no unreasonable delays.
