This new flyover better be worth it. It took me over an hour to get home tonight. I only work in Hove.

I live in Malling Street. I find myself driving through Winterbourne and round by the station. I think I'm going to buy myself a little motorbike. Must be quicker.

Depending on where you are in Hove I'd suggest heading to the A27 taking the road to Ditchling and coming through Plumpton (stopping in The Half Moon for a pint). That way you avoid most of the traffic in Lewes.
Might be a few more miles but it's probably quicker.

Only another year to go...by which time the traffic volume will have increased so the improvements will have no noticeable effect from what we had before...

Yes, but in that case just imagine how bad things would have got by then if things had been left as they were ! As for the queue at the prison crossroads, I have to go that way every day and it often stretches back to the roundabout even before the work at Southerham was started. When they closed a lane of the A27 along by the Newmarket a couple of years ago, I started using the Ditchling Road which for a while was much quicker. Trouble is it didnt take long for everyone else to catch on, and then it was quicker to go via the roadworks again !
