I crawled through Midland town that has so roadworks it has become a carpark |
As I exited the town centre, I already knew there were roadworks on two major roads heading out of Stafford.
I'd already been caught up in temporary traffic lights earlier that week on the A518 Newport Road and the A449 Rowley Bank, respectively.
The former is the main road heading west of the town, while the latter is the main one heading south.

From here along the A34, drivers can turn right onto Silkmore Lane off the roundabout, and head southwards, picking back up the A449 further on and bypassing the roadworks on the A449.
