[Sussex] A27 improvements: here we go again

[One Teddy Maybank]

Get rid of the ridiculous rail link and reinvest the money into tunnels around Worthing.

I'm surprised one of the more moronic, wilfully ignorant posters hasn't been on yet saying that we don't need to improve the A27 and that all the congestion can be solved simply by adding bus and cycle lanes.

All it needs is bus and cycle lanes, no need to upgrade the A27. Simple.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Until a by-pass is built, nothing will improve.

There. Saved them a few quid.

 

[theboybilly]

Nothing will improve until we stop relying on cars to get about. Building more roads is not the answer

 

[GooGull]

Please, please, please NO MORE CYCLE LANES


They don't use them anyway

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Would cycle and bus lanes help?

 

[BensGrandad]

We need to reduce the use of cars and the only way I can see is to make anybody being banned from driving to retake their test after the date their ban expires. It is not the answer but it would go some way towards reducing the car useage.

The A23 going into Brighton is better for buses but nothing has been done to improve the buses travelling out of Brighton between 4 and 6 pm. I have no positive views on bikes who generally disregard the road laws anyway.

I'd go one step further than that,people get banned for a reason,either drink/drug driving,speeding and generally being *****,very controversial but a ban should be a ban for life,end of.Give people 2 years notice of what is going to happen ,that way people can work to get their points down,then if banned after the two year announcement you're a **** and should never be allowed to drive again,tough shite,this would take hundreds of thousands off the roads.

When you watch programmes like Traffic Cops and you see these idiots driving away from the police at stupid speeds in 30mph areas putting everyone's life at risk, with no tax, insurance or nicked the car, they end up getting a ban for 6 months and a £500 fine.
It makes my piss boil, they should never be allowed to get behind the wheel of a car again, same for drink driving, 1 strike and out.
There are so many of them it would make a small reduction in road traffic.
Every little helps.

There is an existing route that could be upgraded to provide a bypass for Worthing and Arundel.

Upgrade the A283 from Shoreham to Storrington, bypass Storrington and upgrade the road to Amberley and from there upgrade the A29 to Fontwell. Unfortunately too many rich friends of the MPs will live in those areas for it ever to be considered.

 

[BensGrandad]

Was that route not partly explored originally and met many objections due to being green land.

Is the sensible and ideal solution.

What with this wind farm out at sea, can't they just keep putting more and more in all the way to Cornwall, then have bridges between each one and exit point's at Brighton, Worthing, Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth etc? ��

Not according the Southdown conservationalists.

 

[Boys 9d]

Road on stilts above the railway with junctions only with other A roads? A few houses may have to be demolished but if that's ok to build HS2 so what?

From a starting point in Findon, when we're driving to Brighton we'll nearly always head North up the A24 and then take the A283, instead of battling with the A27. I would guess it takes longer on occasion, but at least we're moving all the time.

I do a similar thing avoiding Lewes at rush-three-hours. It might take a bit longer, but it feels better to keep moving.
