Last night the A12 closure was diabolical Bob Turner is wright the signs are very bad all you do is ride around in circles get this sorted I got lost last night
and a man and his wife got me out of trouble this is a disgrace put 1 hour on my trip to Romford
I had the same problem driving in circles for an hour!!!!!!! what is the correct route as I will have to complete this journey again over the next month, St Marks Tey to Dartford. Thank you
What time does the A12 open in the morning after the roadworks
The diversion signage for the a12 closure are diabolical. Do not close the road again till you sort it. Following signs sends you up & down the A!2 on a continuous loop.The signs are too small are above the height of headlamps & do not include sensible information like :Southbound!!1 or Chelmsford. Sort it,
Thank you for your reply. We are not Highways England but I am sure they will be aware of your frustration.
Haha good reply! I was led a merry dance last night by the A12 closure and it took me nearly two hours to get home instead of the usual 40. Still, at least I had a tour of ‘North Essex by Moonlight’ and discovered several pretty villages (well they looked pretty in the dark) which I had never heard of before. I’ve given up following the ‘diversion’ signs because, as your reader above points out, these just send you round on a wild goose chase.
