It seems like traffic can't use the left hand lane at the top of Osbourne road junction for continuing ahead which has made it awful just like the the last time they tried it a few years ago.
Yeah totally agreed mind I think the bigger problem is they made it easier for traffic to get out from the Killingworth direction so means there's a constant traffic flow across the roundabout so you can't get out.
Add that to the fact that no-one turns right from Gosforth and it's a recipe for disaster. How no-one found that in models is a mystery mind as it's pretty basic stuff.
It's similar for the Freeman junction aswell. Probably doesn't help they shut the Freeman rat run either.
