The A500 Stoke

[aldi]

.. Southbound just opened about 5 minutes ago

About bloody time eh??

Looking at a map I'd say if you were southbound on the M6, it might even be quicker now to come off at 16 and back on at 15! I'l get over the exitement in a few weeks, It's just that 70% of our clients are around stoke so it makes such a difference to my day

Traffic has been much better since it's been opened! I could throw a stone out of my window and hit a car on the A500 I live that close! Are there any speed camera's on it?

Not that spring to mind except for the mobile vans that lurk around the A50 junction! Give them a few minutes though, they'l soon throw a few up...

Is this a new road or something?

I usually go South past Stoke, and take the next exit, drive North a little bit and then turn East past the Brittania Stadium.

Is there now a new road from the previous junction, rather than the tiresome old way over roundabouts and lights? Or has the road been closed recently?

Roundabouts and lights = gone, turned into overpasses.

Just miles and miles of smooth wide tarmac now...
