which planet do the traffic planners live on?
Traffic calming has now taken place on all roads leading into Wallingford, so you rarely see cars exceeding 30mph.
However in St Nicholas Road, with a school and two T-junctions, there is nothing, with the boy racers usually exceeding the speed limit and on the main roads, the only drivers impeded are the emergency services.
On Tuesday morning Wallingford and the surrounding area was gridlocked.
Why? Roadworks consisting of traffic lights and cones on the B4009 at Benson.
I drove past at 8.45am and there was not a single workman in sight. In fact, nothing was being done.
Does the county council check these operations? Somehow I doubt it.
