Lancaster Gyratory System
One of the frustrating things people find with the local transport system is the Lancaster City gyratory system. Complaints are often voiced about having to travel in a wasteful, circuitous route around the city from whatever starting point you choose. The original concept was conceived in the 60’s and has had minor modifications over the period since then. In order to understand the complex nature of travel around the system a Comprehensive Travel Needs Survey is required. Without this information it is impossible to justify any changes to the traffic flow network.
TSLM has not pursued this important topic but calls on local transport authorities to complete a Comprehensive Travel Needs Survey and link this to a review of the gyratory system and strategic lorry priority routes.
