Road, Rail & Access Issues

[LBA4EVER]

I was wondering the same. I'm dreading using it now although I'm sure it can only make things better once complete.

But we are talking about LCC here
On a serious note though i do feel that because the junction is so huge now with 2 lanes heading off in each direction it possibly might ease traffic queues, but we shall see!

Ridiculous that travelling from Harrogate you have to go all the way into Leeds and then back out to LBA up the A65. NW Leeds cops for multiple races and road closures every year, often making LBA inaccessible from the NE. It's time these races, which are very worthwhile, were shared around and not impacting LBA as often.

I agree but usually Sat Navs will find a better way. An example from Harrowgate will be via Harlow Carr then Otley.

The race goes through Otley, does it not?
