Residents are fuming over the shocking traffic chaos in Standish, Greater Manchester, caused by roadworks and temporary lights
It turns out the mess is due to some ongoing roadworks and those pesky temporary traffic lights on School Lane. Folks in a local social media group were calling it a total ‘joke’ and ‘outrageous’.
Electricity North West is behind the works, and they say it should all be wrapped up by Friday. But you can imagine the frustration! One person said it took them 55 minutes to do a trip that usually takes just 20.
Others chimed in, saying it was scary walking home with kids while cars were running red lights. Wigan Council even put out a notice about the emergency works, warning everyone about the delays.
They mentioned that the temporary signals are causing a lot of headaches. So, it looks like this traffic nightmare might stick around for a bit longer. Electricity North West has been asked for more info, but for now, residents are just trying to cope with the chaos.
