New Bridge

I use it regularly - it's 'ellish.

Crosses the river and everything.

Is it quicker?

Is it quicker?

Whey aye!

There's never any traffic on it - did you not read the other lad's post.

Can you see all the near misses at the lights, by Matalan, from S.Tyneside too? Not be long before there will be carnage there.

If only there was a way to show & prove that such a view is possible with some kind of digitised visual facsimile...

Responsible driver mate didn't want to be on my phone. You can also see it from North Tyneside next to the tesco close to Silverlink. Wow.

What do you suggest?

What do you suggest?

Change the light sequence so that traffic heading from Pallion towards Matalan but turning right towards the Alex. Bridge has its own "turn".

Best post on the mega-thread that was on Page 1 of SMB in the run-up to the opening, went along the lines of...

"Loopy Len's right. Not only is it sinking, it's also twisting round. I drove across from the Pallion side. When I got off, I was back in Pallion"

Eeh, the SMB eh?
