ARTERIAL ROADS (A650)
There will be impacts/consequences with more traffic on this already highly congested local road system.
Motorists will utilize every option of side streets as being faster, creating new rat runs.
Travelling through motorists, will again use Bingley Main Street instead of the Bingley bypass.

All approaches to Cottingley lights will see increased traffic result in longer queues, added delays.
New lights to the SH5 & SH6 development site entrance will stop and slow Bradford Rd traffic.
Traffic will increasingly queue on the approaches to the Mercure roundabout from Cottingley and the bypass.
The Mercure roundabout will be regularly gridlocked halting all traffic, only more traffic lights would resolve this.

Massive vehicle activity at the A650 junction with Branksome Drive, Nab Lane and New Close Rd.
The existing traffic queues between Saltaire lights and Cottingley lights, a bottle neck even now.
