   Diversions so poorly signposted that we ended up at the same place 3 times!! 44 miles from our goal destination and what made it worse was seeing 4 cars and 2 vans with highways workers just sat there talking to each other. When I asked them to give me a clue on where to go, 2 of the workers turned their backs on me and carried on talking to each over and I had the reply “follow the signs”. When I said that the signing was just sending us round in circles the guy I was talking 2 smirked and replied that they wasn’t as he travelled the route every day! Duh, thats how you know where your going, YOU do it everyday! Have a thought for people travelling outside their comfort zone and, try having a little bit of compassion. Just a foot note, I was that stressed after travelling around a “simple diversion” in the end, I turned around and travelled 130 miles back to the West Midlands!

   Pretty Rubbish Directions coming back late from Norwich, first closure ‘Diverted Traffic’ sent you back to Norwich, most cars tried to run through the lanes only to find them closed, people where on vergeways trying to work out now to get home. Second closure at Thetford was much better with Diverted Traffic Signs taking you round road closure, Finally got to A14 could see signs that M11 was closed between junctions 7 & 8, but before we got anywhere near that we found only one lane open on the A14 which turned out to be completely closed and took you off to Newmarket. Its 2021 guys, do you need help with your communications, does someone actually try and follow these signs? You need to think of the consequences when you do road closure and not leave people stuck in the dark in the middle of no where, there were cars parked up everywhere on the first closure. Bad Planning and a total lack of thought for road users.

   I’ve noticed over the last few months that the a11is sporadically closed, with no advanced notice, Norwich indeed any notice on the actual occasion. For example, it was closed Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (early) at Wymondham – a sign where the road works started said single file traffic, that a lane was closed. It was not evident that the actual road was shit until the cones direct you off of the a11. To make matters worse, the main route through Wymondham has temporary 4-way traffic lights. Always helpful to have advance notice on such a main route, considering people are travelling for work……..

   The A11 was opened yesterday morning and now it’s shut again how inconsistent is this this system it puts people out like me and disrupts my day and costs me money.
