There's not much hope but it would be useful if the powers-that-be had a look at putting a mini-roundabout at the top of St Helen's Road, where it joins Bigby Road, not far from The Monument.
The increasing amount of traffic on the A1084 towards Caistor, the all-year-round popularity of Brigg Garden Centre, and the number of people visiting the town to work, or returning home (including many council employees) means quite a bottleneck at this junction, particularly early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
In Scunthorpe, along West Common Lane, they allow traffic to merge from sidestreets through the use of mini-roundabouts. The same solution can also be found at a number of other locations in the steel town.
But that, of course, is Scunthorpe!
Whoever devised the bypass around the Brigg needs their 'bumps' felt. In a stretch less than a mile we have a roundabout at each end, three sets of lights, exit/entrance to Tesco's and cars attempting to turn right out of the vets and Grammar School Road one way !! Despite numerous traffic surveys nothing has improved, they can't even get the traffic lights to synchronise !
