Assume it'll be a contraflow as its currently the diversion for Rowan St? Closed between Ardgowan St and Morrisons but only heading into Town.Its a diversion thru Thrushcraigs and its causing havoc at Neilston Rd.

Tommy Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Seen the tailback lastnight past Chivas. Glad there's another five exits from Gallowhill. [emoji6]I got off the bus at chives today and still beat it into the town. No signs before the collage isn't helping either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salmonbuddie Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Saw the sign at the fire station saying resurfacing. Cockels Loan re opened at junction with Paisley Rd.The diversion is along Broadloan/Cockels Loan, Sandy Road, Cockels Loan/Broadloan. The Sandy Road/Broadloan junction's bad enough at the best of times, it's going to be a nightmare, and you've got to hope they'll adjust the phasing of the Cockels Loan/Paisley Road traffic lights.

hamlet Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Renfrew - I would suggest there is no chance of the phasing being adjusted. Common sense does not appear to exist. The last time, many weeks ago, I was at that junction heading towards Paisley, the lights were operating as normal despite the fact there was no entry to Cockles Loan, except for access. Needless to say I had time to think about it since I was sitting with the light at red and no local traffic in sight. I am not local but I know there are many ways to gain access without even using that junction. O, the good old days when there was no traffic lights in Renfrew.

The lights weren't operating as normal, the filter for traffic coming from Paisley to turn right into Cockels Lane was on, that's why traffic heading to Paisley was stopped. The lights on Cockels Loan were off altogether. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they weren't.The lights at CL,coming on to Paisley Rd,were covered over with a big orange cover but they were still operating in sequence. I know because I was bad and sneaked out there a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I was bad and sneaked out there a few times.They're activated by motion detectors...which were covered. The traffic from Paisley gets red lighted to switch off the filter then both directions go green. I know because I use them every day to and from work and I've seen traffic from Paisley stopped for a few seconds hunners of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 The road going east pass the pandamonium in erskine is closed for resurfacing but you can detour round the back of the pandamonium and come out at the Bridgewater shopping centre.

Tommy Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Took over a hour to get to Erskine yesterday morning I gather they must be working on the Bridge againIt's goes down to 1 lane just prior to the slip road to the bridge but the queue can go as far back to the St James roundabout as I found out last sat [emoji107] Don't think it is anything to do with the Erskine Bridge since the lane closure goes by the slip road.
