I would like to know what barmy ideas Local Authorities have had for junctions and road layouts etc.... 
And what your opinions are of things like Askew Road and South Gosforth, as well as your suggestions.....  

I look forward to reading about these 'gems or mishaps'  

I have to say i drove through south Gosforth on way to freeman at 1pm in the afternoon and it was spot on... I had to return at 830 the following morning and although there was a q of traffic it moved quickly enough for me to get to my appointment. my sat nav did try to send me down a closed road too!

Im one of the few who seem to think askew road is a good idea... the buses i use certainly get to town quicker on grape is that the lights letting buses onto the 167 so be pro bus and should change to green when a bus approaches s it does seem a very long wait if you get there and they just change to red!

I give this one to Newcastle city council.  The road leading from Percy street up to the Gallowgate, They have put a bus lane on the outside lane and other traffic inside lane.  The lights give priority to the bus lane as they change first then about 5 seconds later the inside lane changes...... BUT even the the outside bus lane has arrows pointing straight ahead BUSES and taxis like to turn left onto st james boulevard meaning they are crossing the line of traffic on the inside lane..... saw loads of near misses.... and would be interesting as to whos would be at fault!
