New St Augustine's one-way system, Norwich

The St Augustine's one-way tour starts at St Crispin's Roundabout on Norwich inner ring road and heads north along Pitt Street into St Augustine's Street. At the north end of St Augustine's it turns right along Magpie Road, which will be one-way to the junction with Esdelle Street/Edward Street. The tour turns right on to Esdelle Street/Edward street, heading south to join a new stretch of road (currently under construction) passing front of a redeveloped Anglia Square to rejoin Pitt Street. The tour ends as it approaches St Crispin's Roundabout. For further details, including construction phases, read the news release here: http://tiny.cc/d6Lg9

I'm sure that when we were shown the plans for the gyratory at a community meeting a couple of years ago that there was going to be a pull-in place near Coleman Opticians. Perhaps the County Council could respond here as to whether this is still in the plan.

There will be a loading bay near the opticians. It can be used for unloading or loading for commercial or domestic purposes (eg furniture delivery), but not for parking - and stopping to buy a pizza will not count as loading! However, dropping off or picking up a passenger will be fine.

Thanks for comments. Video was for last year's consultation, so is part of £3.3m overall cost.

No room for a contra-flow cycle lane in St Aug Street, but cyclists well catered for along Edward Street and new link road. Buses heading north for Aylsham Road will leave Magdalen Street and go via new link and St Augustines. Giant lobster robots banned, so not shown on video.

It's fun getting a 15-metre long double decker bus round here!

However, I must thank whoever concerned for moving the kerbs back at the bottom of St Augs while it was being constructed, and also, for re-locating the head of the traffic light on the nearside! I can get a bus round there no problems now :-D

Also, what's the state-of-play with the old HMSO office, Sovereign House? It's an interesting building which I'd like a closer look at before it gets knocked down...

The new one way system around St. Augustine's is a great improvement in my opinion. For those complaining about the lack of parking, there is ample limited parking on Sussex Street. I usually park there when I nip into Anglia Square.

Speaking of which, I hope that Anglia Sq. gets redeveloped soon!

So, it is almost complete now, and i have to say that it is not that great in many ways. Bakers Road is now closed off to St Augustines, Magpie Road is cut off into one way in the middle and access to Waterloo Road is none existent at this end. There has been no decent crossing while the work was carried out, with people having to risk life and limb to cross. The blind at the local centre came across problems getting around. As for lack of decent business, more have suffered due to this system!

Giant lobster robots?

Is this definitely how it is going to look? does anyone know for sure if this is up to date information?

Brilliant video. I never knew it was all changed round that way so I will have to remember that now!
