Excellent start to 2013, A19 closed due to flooding as I predicted last week, and now all that extra traffic will be coming up Tadcaster Road towards a shut Micklegate. You won't be moving much round by the station or courts, so avoid York centre till about September!

if you read the article you'd see that Micklegate is to be run as an eastbound one-way road during the works so therefore it wouldn't be closed to traffic coming from Tadcaster Road,,,,,

It'll still cause problems like Bishopthorpe Road where the temporary lights were not synchromnised to the traffic lights, and drivers tailgating through the red light.

So, in effect, the roadworks won't cause any problems......but the bad drivers doing the tailgating will :-)"
