City centre commuters have blasted new roadworks that have appeared on one of the city centre's busiest roads as causing traffic chaos.
The roadworks on Deansgate, which reduce one part of the busy road to just a narrow lane past Spinningfields, have been criticised by drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Commuters have hit out at traffic lights that 'only let two cars at a time through', cycle lanes that are blocked by road signs, and pedestrians 'darting out across the road'.
Manchester City Council said a number of factors had contributed to 'busier than usual roads' this week, but all 'changes have been put in place to create more opportunities for people to make improved travel choices' and 'improve air quality'.
