Has anybody driven down The Drive or Grand Avenue lately?

What has happened?

Oh, sorry, cycle lanes.

This road was a main thoroughfare in Hove for many, many years but now it is a joke.

Two lanes down to one and the junction with Church Road is now backed up halfway in Grand Avenue.

Not only that but when you get through the traffic lights as you go down to the seafront there is a tricky little narrow bit that buses only just get through before the road opens up into one lane again. Crazy.

While I am at it, I am looking for a financial backer for a summer project - the "roadworks in and around Brighton and Hove tour".

The only setback being it would only run once a day because it would probably take that long to get back to where you started.

Interested?
