Issue with Traffic Lights timing., 15th February

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 16:23:37 +0000
54.729879 -1.521658

Hi there. Since the easing of Covid restrictions and more people returning to work, the timings of the traffic lights on the northbound exit at J61 on the A1M need revisiting. Every morning at approximately 8:15am, there is a queue of traffic on the slip road, which cannot proceed on to the A177 due to the traffic at the lights leading on to the A177 having backed up. By the time the traffic coming over the flyover has cleared, the lights have turned to red again and the traffic from the A1M are unable to proceed. At most one or two cars can get over if they chance it. Please could this be looked at. Many thanks.

54.729776 -1.521013

There was a serious accident on the roundabout today. Last week we were involved in a road rage incident in the same area, other incidents reported on Facebook.I believe there is a problem in that Lane markings are worn and need repainting. In particular where a lane splits into two lanes, both north and south directions.

Diversion signage off (and back onto) the A1(M) is inadequate, 31st July

Sat, 31 Jul 2021 09:51:43 +0100
54.730113 -1.52031

The northbound diversion signage for the closure of the A1(M) in County Durham is inadequate and confusing. There are long sections where diversion signage is missing entirely, particularly through Durham City, where anyone unfamiliar with the area will become completely lost. I suggest that someone has a look at this.
