    You do realise that we have stairfoot as roundabout developed to remove traffic delayed on the a635 don't you

    This work really well till you traffic management people decided to put lights round and now the traffic is worse than it ever was

    They are now putting lights up a J37

    I don't work in traffic management but I'm sure you are an expert at it so apply to run the dept at the council.

    So it's a road sign or grit then. Not both. ****. Tough times.

    Stairfoot roundabout should have been a flyover as a lot of folk in the area originally wanted.

    There's a Welcome to Sheffield road sign on the Hoyland to Chapeltown road with a box of tendered flowers underneath. The sign and box of flowers are sponsored by a local business - it gives the impression that Sheffield is a caring community. At the other side of the road there's welcome to Barnsley sign which has totally faded and is no longer legible.The impression you get from that is that Barnsley is a bit of a shithole. I reported it to the council two years ago and they still can't be arsed to get it changed. All about impressions

    Is the sign actually paid for by the council tax payers or has the Pogmoor Area Residents' Association paid for it. If you have a fetish about signs, go have a look at the one at the bottom of Cresswell Street in Poggy. It tells you of the airmen who lost their lives on 6th January, 1942 at 10.10 am, when an RAF Whitley bomber aircraft crash there.

    You've got problems - the flyover by the end of the m62 has lights projected on it that say welcome to Liverpool - scandal! ! There's a sign as well - double whammy! !

    So let's not replace welcome signs etc, what impression does that give to people visiting the town, or to businesses perhaps looking to relocate here?

    No way is it as bad as the old crossroads but improvement can always be welcomed.
    But surely that's Dept of transport territory.
    By the way we would still have the crossroads now if it were up to govt as it was a European investment
