Travelling back from the east coast along the A64, heading for Acomb in the usual traffic on a summer day, I decided to take the A1227 route for a change as a short cut.
I missed the massed traffic to the A64 and it later occurred to me, looking at the map of York, that the A1227 might be better connected to the A64 from the Earswick roundabout to the junction of Moor Lane.
Countless times cars have waited ten minutes or more to exit Moor Lane to the A64, or worse, to turn right to York.
This is a danger spot, as anyone who uses it knows. A roundabout here would cure that and the link from Earswick roundabout would take the queues from the A64 away from the present roundabout, freeing traffic along the Monks Cross area. Because duelling the A1227 appears not to be an option, have the bodies concerned ever thought of this as an option?
