Attention Roadworks
Snarl-ups on the harbour road. The one way road has become two way because of roadworks along the harbour. This big articulated truck barely got through without a scratch. Imagine what happens when he meets another big truck coming the other way
We all manoeuvered, backing up and parking on the pavement
Yes, he did get through
Further down in front of the coffee shops the smaller cars were once again climbing up on the pavement amongst the cafe tables to let the trucks through.
Something interesting for us to discuss and argue about while passing the time with a coffee
Traffic jam
This convoy, headed by the enevitable truck.........
Met these two
Easter is in four weeks. The island overflows with cars for this most important holiday. Wonder if they'll manage to sort out the trenches in the road by then and have the quay back to solid cement instead of rocks and dirt.
If they don't it will chaos, not confusion
That'll make for interesting watching - and driving lol
ReplyDeleteWill you be avoiding the area??
As much as possible!!!!
DeleteTime to switch to a bicycle?
ReplyDeleteYes, would solve the problems but id have to ride 6ks home up mountain road and I ain't doing that
DeleteIt takes a lot of courage to drive there.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, yes. Usually taxi drivers are the worst hazard
DeleteLet’s hope it’s all done and dusted by Easter for safeties sake.
ReplyDeleteHere at home. Our governments in their wisdom will plan road works all in the same area all at the same time. So no matter which route you take it’s bedlam
At least it's not in the middle of summer
DeleteCertain places were not designed to take heavy traffic. Those trucks are simply too big.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous but there's just no other for them to go now once they're off the car ferry and they have to go back the same way.
DeleteNow our mountain road has been closed for very long awaited repairs and we have to do another 4ks to get a loaf of bread. We can't complain, it needed doing but bloody inconvenient
Enjoyed the photos. I always like to see lorries.
ReplyDeleteYou'd spend happy hours here watching all the trucks...delivery trucks, roadwork trucks, double trucks carrying food for the fish farms. Plenty of heavy traffic
DeleteAhhh yes, traffic issues, come High Tourist Season. Are never nice. Good luck, with them dealing with them, while they still can.

June is the start of the tourist season but Easter here is at the end of April. At the rate they're working we'll all being treated for road rage soon.....and local elections are in may. You'd think they'd be working faster to get more votes
Deletetime to get a moped!
ReplyDeleteEven mopeds have to take the long way round. Extremely annoying.
DeleteI'm actually amazed trucks are allowed on those types of roads, wouldn't they crack the cobbles or concrete?
ReplyDeleteOur roads are in very bad condition. I suppose thats what will happen next , all the roads will be ripped up again and re-sealed.
