YOUR VIEW: Is Lune Street project lunacy?
The introduction of two-way traffic in Lune Street – and a new link with Ringway near the old Corn Exchange – has left some motorists in a spin.
County Hall chiefs admitted there had been “teething troubles.”

Motorists regularly contacted the Post last Christmas saying they were stuck in St George’s shopping centre carpark and couldn’t get out. Will this work this year?
It’s all on the road, not exactly complicated. If you’re lacking understanding about road markings I suspect you should send your driving licence back to Kelloggs for a refund on the cornflakes you got it with.

It’s not confusing... it’s just people don’t know how to drive!!!!! Maybe the ‘signs are not big enough’ excuse will rear its head.

Hide AdLCC/PCC are attempting to pedestrianise the town centre and because they make a mess of it, they then dig up a pedestrian area and put a road in it. Go back to the existing Lune Street layout before you made it one way? You couldn’t make it up!

I’ve driven around there this morning to use St George’s car park and nothing confusing about it. What will cause any future problems are people who don’t read the clear signposts or have no consideration for other drivers and make their own rules up!!!!

It’s not really hard to work out is it. U come down the street no entry to the left keep going follow the road markings lol

Congrats to LCC for making Preston even more impassable than it was before, and probably doing nothing else other than increasing congestion and profiteering off of fines. Utterly disgraceful!

Put a bollard there! That’d probably work out well
Tony Whitfield
It’ll all be gridlocked as soon as there’s plenty of traffic and everyone sits in the yellow boxes!
Sean Jackson
So the route to ease the congestion now sends traffic onto a section of road which at busy times is grid locked! Seems usual for Preston Clown Council.

How long until the first accident?

I live in Chorley and the messing about that has gone on here leaves me wondering why we bother with signs etc. They are just expensive decorations as there is no money left for enforcement
