Whats Newcastle like at Rush hour? Just trying to get an idea of how long it will take to get there on Friday. So whats the traffic like in and around Newcastle??
Newcastle is not too bad compared to a lot of other cities, or at least it didnt use to be. But its pretty horrendous at the minute cos theres so many roadworks.
not a good idea, i would try to avoid rush hour all together. Getting in and out of town takes a prety long time during rush hour so i would try to leave earlier to avoid rush hour!!!!!!!:groovy: :evil: :groovy: :evil: :groovy: :evil:
The trouble is I think we need to be on the road during rush hour.. How long does it take to get from The riverside area to the north of the city around the airport area in Rush hour??
MORE LIKE WHAT TIME IS RUSH HOURS N HOURS!! TOOK ME 1HOURTO GET FROM THE BRIDGE TO HEATON THE OTHER FRIDAY!!
am glad i live in a small town, i fuckin hate traffic jam's with a passion. i become such an angry individual 'tis not pleasant!
I can probably help you there since i live in that general area.. the rush hour only really affects the City Centre and Gateshead, and the surrounding roads. Once you get to the north of the city centre tho, it's pretty much plain sailing.. the central mototway is usually ok between town and Cowgate roundabout, and Ponteland Road isnt bad.. get past Kenton Bar Roundabout and the big roundabout over the A1 near Kingston Park and you're clear all the way to the airport. Drop me a PM with some details on where you need to get to and I'll help you out where possible
The city is usually busiest on a friday afternoon , all the peeps with half day finishes and the like, friday evenings don't seem to be that bad.
town - airport at rush hour is anything upto an hour, but usually 40 minutes does the job... the central motorway and cowgate are nitemares somtimes tho..
Since the roadworks between RVI and Cowgate are finished it aint as bad now.. if traffic is heavy I get back in under 20 mins. The only bottleneck is at Kenton Bar and the Kingston Park roundabout with the A1 traffic, but my route avoids that . Gio, I'm guessing you're either coming into the city centre to get to Promise and park nearby, or coming in via the city centre to get to your destination, either way I can give you the shortest route and the roads to avoid, so gimme a shout if you need some help
No probs man.. have a good one on Friday, just gimme a shout if theres owt you need to know at the last minute
