Making sense appears to be too much for others.

It’s chaos coming from the east to the tunnel. How does a road “improvement” scheme actually make traffic worse on probably the busiest route in to it.

You said the magic word there " tunnel "
That is restricted to 2 lanes in either direction, the entire design of the Dunkettle Interchange is designed around and in all fairness compromised by that fact.

The whole point of the project was to prevent incidents like what happened this morning from impacting on all traffic approaching from all sides.
That has been achieved.

The whole point of the project was to prevent accidents like this morning and disregard the impact to people travelling from east?
Sorry but that is stupid and I have no doubt that was a brief never given to any road designer.

You might please highlight where it was that I used the word " accident "

Also point out please where I said " people travelling from East "

I will just chill here and eagerly await your response

Accident/ incident, you knew what I meant.
You never said anything about East I did just as I did in the first post you quoted.

“Eagerly waiting my response”
That is quite sad.

Ah no, it's not sad at all, I called you on your crap.

Try and refrain from suggesting I mentioned things that I did not do.

The intention of the project was to improve flow, it did that.
As demonstrated this morning, had that happened before the upgrade all approaches would have been impacted, they weren't, therefore in my book, that's a success.

If the good people coming up from East cannot notice an improvement, then fair enough. I am not sure what people expected. The plans for the project were online for a long time before the project began.
The tunnel is well and truly beyond capacity now.

What crap, so the traffic doesn't back up coming from the east worse than before the "improvements"
I must be seeing things most mornings and evenings so.

I asked you a question based on your stupid post, as typified by another poster laughing at your suggestion

The intention of the project was to improve flow, it did that.

It clearly doesn't improve flow.

Is there any regular meetings that are open to the public regarding any future projects for the city that a person can attend ? Like are there any meetings regarding the docklands that are open to the public ?

It is public consultation I know for JCD project on Albert Quay but I don't know the form it takes. Email or what
I think the big project on the Docklands (R&H Hall) is finished that process

Interesting fact about the tunnel: at the design stage, civil servants in the department of Transport (or whatever it was called then) wanted the tunnel to have a single lane in each direction. The NTA fought for 2 lanes (and obviously won the argument).
Could you imagine...one lane in each direction...you think it is bad now...
