Problems with the traffic system were raised with Mr Airey a senior Traffic engineer at a recent Council meeting.
Now we have a four vehicle accident, apparently at Newland, which was reported incorrectly on BBC travel information for this area.
Never-the-less the following may be pertinent.
Cllr Norman Bishop-Rowe raised detail concerns about the flow at the Tanks Square round about and Cllr Judy Pickthall about the road approaching Quebec Street because of the narrowing from two lanes to one.
As I understand it, nothing was going to be done until the system has been tested a whole year.
Reporting incidents to the police will help build up a more complete picture of what is happening and possibly achieve change more quickly.
Hopefully our County Councillors are registering strongly our need for a bypass that avoids Ulverston altogether. It may not happen for ten to twenty years but I would have thought a campaign needs mounting now to even achieve this.
What have your experiences been on the A590 ?

The 4 vehicle accident on Weds happened near Newlands petrol station . What has that got to do with Tank Sq.? The A590 improvements have eased the flow of traffic through town ,no doubt about it they are a success. The problems arise when drivers cut across lanes at Tank Sq. If they follow the white lines and stick to a lane there is no problem. This is beyond the skill of some drivers.
Thanks.
My information came from the BBC red button Travel Information.
