New road layout A1 at Welwyn...again!
Discussion
Well, they have changed lane markings on the A1 northbound at Welwyn, again!
They must have done this in the last couple of days, as it wasn't like that on Wednesday afternoon.
That's going to catch a lot of people out during the evening rush hour.
Sometimes I wonder if the Highways department do these things on purpose, just to catch you out.

So is the left lane now merging back into the middle lane again as it originally used to be?
No, the left hand lane is for the Welwyn exit only!Three lanes coming up to to junction, then lane 1 drops off to the exit leaving lanes 2 and 3 to continue on. No more merging on the hill.

Caught us out on Saturday. Mrs C.A.R. was driving, I looked up and we were taking the exit already.
It was obviously my fault because I didn't tell her not to do it?!!
Us blokes get blamed for being too bossy and in the next breath get blamed for not going the right way...when we're not even driving. Can't. Win.

Seems to work. Been through there twice now between 5:30 and 6 pm
Because that section is so wide you do see the occasional joker trying to push past where the slip road joins at the foot of the hill. I'm not quite sure of their logic, it's not like the traffic ahead has anywhere to go.

They've certainly fked up the northbound on ramp at the clock roundabout
Isn't that the truth! Wait until the kids go back on Tuesday and I think we'll see Welwyn gridlocked, especially if they switch the lights on at the top of the ramp.Was discussing this with a couple of colleagues on Friday and we recon it will add 20 - 30 mins to getting home, and the traffic will now back up to Shire Park. If their aim was to restrict trafic getting out of Welwyn, they have certainly suceeded.
