Hills Road

[ewx]

Contrary to my previous understanding of the planned disruption in at least two ways, Hills Road is now one way southbound to motor traffic from OLEM all the way to Station Road (using the usually-northbound side of the road). There are also barriers placed to create a lane for northbound cycles.

Two ways?

The cycle campaign had been told it would be one-way southbound but that cycles would be allowed through northbound, and I was wondering how that was going to work out!

Two ways what? You can cycle both ways, northbound in the boxed off little cycle lane and southbound with the motor traffic. Or you could this morning at any rate.

In what two ways is it different to your previous understanding?

OIC. How far the blockage extended and what direction of traffic would still work.

Hmm, yes, I thought it was coming further South - though I did know which way was blocked. I'm working at home today, will have to see how well it works in practice tomorrow, and if it's too bad I'll come in down Trumpington Rd til it's finished and avoid Hills Rd completely.
