Ipswich Borough Council has made life easier for motorists forced to take diversions off the A14 by accidents or major road works.
When the A14 is closed, traffic is diverted through Ipswich on to main roads to minimise the effect on local traffic. Over the years, the road network and traffic signs have changed and the symbols used to direct traffic have become inconsistent. Now the Council has implemented new symbols and signs. Eastbound diverted traffic will be directed using a circle and westbound diverted traffic will be directed using a triangle symbol.
