Delays on A1 road from Barnet Lane to Apex corner. Traffic is particularly heavy and at an almost standstill. No incidents or accidents to report. Just bad management on the roundabout regarding filter Lane and traffic light system. Heavy traffic loads are common in this area on a weekday during rush-hour, however never to this extent. This is a Sunday evening at 6 pm, and I have travelled 0.6 miles in 1.2 hours. The Unmanned roadworks in the surrounding areas that connect to apex roundabout, such as Edgeware or causing this backlog of traffic where drivers are being asked to re-root as roadworks are left overnight. I suggest implementing highway patrol to offer help and guidance at the Apex roundabout to assist the heavy load of traffic, as drivers are hesitating and having to re-route , this causing a monumental delay. Roadwork equipment should be removed over the weekends and evenings when not being used. Re-routing signs should be more clear. The traffic light system needs to be adjusted for the heavier flow of vehicles. It is unacceptable to expect drivers to manage. There are no roads to turn off or stop in an emergency. A child would potentially be at risk if travelling in this. More help is needed. This has been An ongoing issue for the last several weeks and more needs to be done to resolve the matter. The emissions must be skyrocketing.
