0bserver Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Traffic flow is massively improved with the absence of the horse trams fouling up the Prom. Without them there it massively increases the capacity of the road. I've never understood why IOM Police didn't order them to stop running during road closures.

Does anyone know if the roundels are waterproof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a few cyclists coming off or at the very least tyres damaged. Hopefully it will all be ripped after TT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also left loads of bits of tarmac on the walkway because they haven't bothered to sweep up. It is amazingly bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Although to be fair he has a point. That 20mph roadworks sign should be for oncoming traffic on the left Edited May 30, 2022 by AOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
