    the existing roundabout at the junction of Tandy’s Lane and the R120 Newcastle Road is to be upgraded to a signalised junction this summer.

    busy junction in the mornings on the route heading towards newcastle. could the lights make it worse? at least now with all 3 roads leading into that roundabout, vehicles usually let each other in.

    outer ring road should help, but that's probably not opening this year?

    thats going to make things a hell of a lot worse in the mornings. i work in superquinn on the newcastle road and see the traffic every morning and its got worse every day over the last 2 years,granted its reasonably calm at the moment with no school runs but come september its going to be a disaster,should just leave it the way it is!:confused:

    Yep unfortunately the ORR isn't due to open until next summer. Newcastle Road will continue to worsen till then. However the junction you refer to will become a very important route for accessing Adamstown as the town develops so the signalisation of the junction is prolly a good idea.
