53.226318 -2.939602

There has been almost continual flooding across the end of Kingdwood Lane for the last couple of months. Nothing seems to have been done to rectify the problem. As vehicles are tending to move to the middle of the road to go through the shallowest point, it is only a matter of time before someone comes round the corner and causes an accident

In the grass area on the A494 between the lay-by and services sign (eastbound) there is a discarded fuel container (small red type). It’s tipped up so unlikely to contain much fuel but given the potential contents it might need checking.

The first junction sign (ie. before the countdown markers) is on the other side of a tall hedge from the road and cannot be seen. Not sure when the hedge was last trimmed down, but either the sign needs to be moved to the roadside, or the hedge needs regular maintenance.

Traffic light phasing, 15th June

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 16:20:15 +0100
53.239027 -2.95175

The traffic light phasing is too heavily biased to traffic moving from Chester towards Wirral at this junction. This is causing huge tailbacks for traffic travelling from Wirral towards Chester and the M56 / Ellesmere Port. Junction of A540 and A5117 - this is ongoing and has been for the last 2 weeks.

Illogical sequencing increasing emissions, 2nd September

Wed, 02 Sep 2020 12:57:31 +0100
53.212367 -2.972334

At night the traffic lights on the main road are constantly changing to red when there is no traffic waiting to exit from Seahill Road. This causes drivers to first brake and then accelerate away. There is no reason for this sequencing of the traffic lights as the road is already protected by an enforced average 50mph limit. It would be better to leave the lights on Sealand Road on green until a car is waiting to exit Seahill Road in order to reduce emissions from cars, as well as alleviating pointless braking component wear
