Suffolk Show - Traffic Advice
Suffolk Show - Traffic Advice


The 2010 Suffolk Show gets underway at Trinity Park tomorrow, Wednesday 2 June, and police are reminding motorists there may be some congestion in the area over the next two days due to the volume of traffic heading to the area.

While in recent years there have been relatively few traffic problems, Inspector Des Pooley of Suffolks Road Policing Unit is asking drivers to take some simple measures to ensure all goes smoothly.

Police officers will be on the main routes to try to ensure traffic keeps moving but we know the A14 and A12 near the Seven Hills interchange can be particularly busy and we would ask all non-show traffic to avoid the area, and find an alternative route if at all possible.

rn

The aim is to get all those visiting the show into the ground as safely and quickly as possible however we have to bear in mind there may be other factors, such as collisions, which may mean hold-ups. We would urge all visitors to follow the signs and to keep to the routes directed, even if it means using two lanes where they might only usually use one. In addition to this we would ask that drivers also comply with any requests from police or show stewards, that you leave additional time for your journey and, if travelling at rush hour, you be prepared for a few delays.

As usual drivers approaching along the A12 from Woodbridge will be directed to use the Bucklesham village route, while those approaching from the west along the A14 are asked to come off at the Seven Hills roundabout, use both lanes on the slip road off the A14 and then utilise two lanes around the roundabout itself towards the showground. Traffic from Ipswich should make use of arrangements along Bucklesham Road to access Gate 4, while those approaching from Felixstowe should follow signing off the A14 prior to the Seven Hills junction. Drivers are being asked to follow these routes in reverse when leaving the showground, with two lanes of traffic flowing from Gate 10 back to the Seven Hills interchange.

Police are also urging visitors to be security conscious at the Showground. Please remember to lock your vehicle and remove any valuables before leaving your car unattended.
