All part of blame culture, it’s a wonder there isn’t railings all the way round, most of those signs will be for no swimming, no cycling and no dogs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet there’s always people cycling or walking dogs in there. Might be too many so people just end up ignoring them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two-lane Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 1 hour ago, Roxanne said: Have you ever been to the Mooragh? I think I once counted thirty seven signs in there and around the outside. But Mooragh Park is a reasonable size. At the MER stop on Parsonage Road I counted 21 signs - Entry, No Entry, This Way, That Way. Well, that was a few years ago and there have been several breeding seasons since, so now there may be a few more. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hedgehog Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 3 hours ago, Numbnuts said: Report from Manx radio says MHK Tim Glover who has resbonsibility for DOI . Surely thats not right ? If that's the case then the signs will probably warn of covid rather than rail lines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Thomas was absent (as were Christian and Barber, so clearly MHKs aren't immune to Covid) so Glover was standing in for him as a Departmental Member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just an unrelenting mess of made up on the hoof implemented rubbish. If they’d have kept the existing tram layout there would be no need for any of this. I see what you did there! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0bserver Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I'm looking forward to seeing what colour the pink/red concrete will look once it's had a liberal smearing of horse shit. Dulux could be in with a good shout with hay bale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Slightly off topic but a traffic question..... Does someone coming out of Corkills Garage, south side entrance, have priority at the roundabout??? Surely, coming from private land they are not part of the road traffic which is watching the main road flow of cars? Two near misses now!

I think you'll find there is a 'sign' saying you can't go out that way. Loads do though and indeed if the pumps are all busy there's no other way out .

Well if all the pumps are busy and I have been to the shop or chemist and not needed petrol I am not sitting there waiting. Don’t sensible people just treat it as part of the roundabout? Hundreds of people come out of there ever day and I have never had an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d yield to my right because it’s still a junction/exit on a roundabout, it’s not really the junction that’s important but the roundabout, if they can merge onto the roundabout before you then you have two options, give way or crash into them. Speed on approach is the important factor, if it’s clear I would slow down and see if they go, if they don’t then I’ll take priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I give way to exiters that way as if they are on the roundabout. I’ve never used that petrol station so never realised it had a preferred exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Back to the promenade... I noticed a lot of digging up tarmac and relaying it today. Near the Broadway roundel. Lots of cones by the red stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
