I think there must be a surplus of temporary traffic lights in Devon and they've run our of storage so they just keep installing them around Teignmouth and Dawlish as somewhere to put them.  I hope they manage to phase them so that they take into account the volume of traffic towards or from Exeter at different times of day. The last lot caused huge queues in one direction most mornings but only a ...

Margaretswift55, there was no barbed comment in what I wrote and certainly none aimed at anyone in particular.  It was a general comment about the subject and posts on this site from all sides.  I am surprised you took it as being aimed at your personally, if I had wanted or aimed to do that then I would have been open and said so.  I didn't say so, because that was not the intention.  I also, to ...

My opinion, for what it's worth, yes it is a lot of money BUT every single person I've spoken to about it since the tickets went on sale has been excited and positive about it. I was at the leisure centre the morning the tickets were available and it was the hot topic of discussion from others in the changing rooms. Personally I'm not going, done my share of open air concerts, prefer indoor ones ...

I travelled on it to and from Torquay last night and was very impressed with how well the traffic lights at the Torquay end work to feed the traffic through and going over the top of Penn Inn was great.  The whole thing ran very smoothly and it was a much quicker journey than the old route.  A huge well done to all the civil engineers and construction workers for a job well done and delivered ...

No HuwMatthew2, I didn't say that at all. In fact if you reread my post of 22 Oct at 23.04 you will see that I mention travelling TOWARDS Exeter and said left hand lane for straight on and right hand lane for turning into Sainsbury's or going full circle. So you may have misread that. On Saturday I followed a Nissan Micra from Dawlish all the way to the large roundabout at the far end of ...

Roberta I see that you instantly resort to using names you see as an insult, calling him Gideon. As if he had a choice in the name given to him by his parents.  And you also presume that you know my own personal or financial circumstances in that somehow I don't know people who will be affected by the changes. In fact I will be affected by the changes they are bringing in on Tax Credits but I ...

Wonder how many of those 4,600 will then benefit from a rise in the national minimum wage, increase in tax allowances etc etc that is also being brought in. Also wonder how it is ever right for big companies, who past lovely large profits every year, to pay as little as possible to large number of their employees because they know the Government will step in to top up the wages. I ...

Yes how dare the Government try to publicise someone that is of benefit to workers. (And yes that is said with sarcasm) It might be a bit strange as an advertising campaign but it's certainly had some media attention and that might help people to remember the importance of it.  If it helps more people to be aware of workplace pensions and the fact that if they pay in their employer also has to ...

Sainsburys roundabout
22 Oct 2015

I'm sorry but I don't agree. The Highway Codes gives clear rules for left turn, right turn and full circle. For intermediate turns which includes straight on in this case it states that unless signs or markings indicate otherwise then  "select the appropriate lane on approach to and on the roundabout" and logically with only 2 exits from the roundabout then the left lane is the appropriate one for ...

I really can't see what is confusing people about this.  From the Exeter direction there are 2 usual options  - left into Sainsbury's approach road, or straight on towards Dawlish.  So to turn left you would sit in the left hand lane, which then logically leaves you to sit in the right hand lane if you want to go straight on.  Simple!  And of course if you do want to go all the way round and back ...
