Must be the worst around anywhere I’ve ever been to. I’d bet there will be cities in some third world countries out there with better roads than Manchester.
Simply starting with the aesthetics, the amount of roads that have been dug up and filled back in with either different materials or much less hard wearing materials leaves them looking shabby and a bit shit and leads to potholes.
Ah the potholes... The amount of potholes is a disgrace!
I’ve knackered a shock absorber on my car in the last year going over a pothole and know of plenty of others who’ve burst tyres and one mate who cycles to work who’s gone over his handlebars because of one.
The amount of traffic is scandalous!
The road network is not good enough to deal with the amount of cars that this conurbation has moving around in the rush hours, match evenings for anyone driving can be a proper nightmare (especially in December). Cars lined up either side of all B roads slows traffic down, slows buses down which slows cars down further. Cyclists would have less hassle cycling though a mine field than having to get around the roads we have.
Public transport is a joke. Metrolink is not fast enough nor does it have enough carriages for our conurbation when it comes to getting people off the roads and using it instead of driving cars. The Mets also run on the already over-congested roads slowing everything down even further. What’s that about?
We’ve all seen how bad the Met service is on a Matchday.
What is going on? Is anything going to change?
Our conurbation is crying out for a better transport network.
