Fiveways Junction Regularly Blocked
by jontwigge on 21 January, 2018
With the growing traffic along Macclesfield Road the junction with Dean Lane and Mill Lane has been getting steadily busier.
At busy times there are often queues at the junction and more people are failing to keep it clear.
Recently talking to the residents of Mill Lane a number of people all commented on how difficult it can be at times with the junction blocked. To try to alleviate the problem we are calling for a yellow box junction to keep it clear for people travelling across Macclesfield Road.
Box junctions are designed to keep junctions clear. The highway code says that you should only enter a box junction if your exit road is clear or if you are waiting to turn right.

Good idea.
It would also be a good idea to have yellow hatching on Ashbourne Road at the exit from the Esso/Tesco filling station so that residents living on Ashbourne Road and Darley Road are not stopped from reaching their properties by thoughtless drivers leaving the said business.
I suggested this to the council after tesco opened – they gave any number of excuses as to why they would t do it – suggest you raise it with councils and MP again – Furthermore the signage inside tesco express for cars exiting is woefully inadequate . As is the parking on Ashbourne road near tesco express.
Hi,
the council don’t do things quickly. Sometimes though for good reasons. I think what is going to happen is we will look again at the main Macc Road and Dean Lane / Mill Lane crossroads after the new road has opened and see what things are like then – that way any measures can be designed for how things are actually working given the new junction and lights. Please let us know any more thoughts after that or even in the meantime for other issues.
