Traffic flow speeds were greatly increased by introducing 2 extra sets of traffic lights and a slight increase to the length of the route.

I think what they should do, to increase the number of cars still further, is to hide the bus station away, behind some buildings away from the town centre - oh wait, it appears they have already thought of that one.

And they should formulate a one way system that makes no sense.....does not improve a drivers desire to come into the town unless they positively cannot avoid it.
Oh, Yes...they have done that too.
It is time to start organising a funeral wreath for Accrington Market Hall and town centre...the bus station is taking folk out of town to places where trade is valued and welcomed.
Nice Job town planners....maybe you should all go back to your Lego sets

Just been chatting to a chap sat in front of the town hall, 6 have passed him in the past 20 min.

One tried it while I was crossing again, and again he had to reverse.

This is getting fun :)

I hope they put the CCTV of someone running you over for being an awkward so and so

Well, I nearly caught a bus today but he slowed down :)

Although I don't know where he thought he was going, the markets closed down on Wednesdays :(

Aren't buses allowed?

You really should find somewhere else to spend your time, ever considered going over Niagra in a barrel?

No, buses are not allowed.
No vehicles unless "loading by lorry between certain hours".

Bus, taxi, people carrier, motorbike etc. all disallowed.

I don't spend my time hanging around there, I just pass it twice a day, walking ont he pedestrian area and in those brief seconds cars go through. :)

Something mysterious is happening. I made a post on here yesterday and it's disappeared, perhaps it was run over by a bus outside the market hall.

It was removed because the picture was too big and causes problems

Nice of you to let me know at the time. I was under the impression that moderators would inform members of the reason when such actions were taken.

Re: Blackburn road - in front of town hall.

Looking at the signs, buses are allowed to travel from the old market end - but not in the other direction.

A little crazy :)

Not seen any tanks yet.

Does the sign ask for volunteers with the attitude of lemmings to jump into the way of illegally moving traffic?

I usually download, resize and edit the post with the smaller picture if I see them too big.
