Drivers ignore no-entry signs on London Road in Gloucester amid roadworks confusion

Overview

Motorists in Gloucester are facing confusion and ignoring no-entry signs following the extension of a temporary one-way system on London Road on 5 October. The restrictions are part of ongoing £40m cycle spine works between Alvin Street and the railway bridge. While local drivers and business owners have criticised the unclear signage and disruption, Gloucestershire County Council stated that diversion routes and clear signage are in place, and that the approach minimizes impacts on emergency vehicle access to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
