What kind of island do Manx people want?

Oh yes...heading out to Whitby between approx. 3pm to 6:30pm (our second daily  "rush hour") is a terrible stretch of highway. Sixteen lanes of traffic crawl through that bottleneck making about 7 km in about 45 min.

People easily blow 3 hours/day commuting, I would say, on average. Prior to work from home, I would drive late at night or prior to 5am to halve the time. Drivers/auto enthusiasts actually initially welcomed the lockdown because we had never been able to drive empty streets.

Count your blessings Manx islanders.

Hang on, you must have heard of Quarterbridge??

And the Rush Minute?

But we only had any holdups during TT week , the DOI seem determined to grind everything  to a halt comming into Douglas , its time they brought some proper traffic management specialists in  and go rid of the pelican crossings ,replaced them with zebra crossings ,  and had the traffic lights updated  so at least they worked in sequence with each other and allowed a decent flow ,  

 

the promenade has not helped as many motorists now avoid it  so traffic builds up on Quarterbridge   and Glenclutchery  roads causing tailbacks right through Onchan  Village  which has become another no go area from the Corkills roundabout to the Manx arms traffic lights
