Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 the amount of traffic lights in Sapporo is ridiculous! Just because the centre of the city is laid out in a grid system, they have put lights on almost every junction. Even little tiny ones that don't need them……Its very frustrating especially when cycling anywhere because you seem to get stopped at every bloody set of lights!! Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Bloody hate the Aqua-line. Queues to get on it. Queues on it until the Umi-hotaru. Queue getting out of Umi-hotaru. Queues at the ETC booth as people **** up. Grr. But saves time. Which is nice Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Where were you going to MIJ? I've taken it to go to Kujukuri for surfing and have wondered if it would be faster going around that way then getting stuck in the perpetual jam from the Ginza turnoff to Shin Kiba when going to Narita.

RobBright 35 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Went over to Elephant Kingdom near Ichihara. Could have gone round, and wish we had done. 4 hours to get there, yet on the way back 65 mins door to door. Was down in Shuzenji on Tuesday and was amazed how clear the roads were considering.

Chriselle 158 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Shuzenji is never too bad. It's more over here from Odawara down the coast (and back) that gets crazy. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Roundabout talk, yes, they can be pretty high tension scary these days back home. Perhaps just a lack of practice. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Lots of mega roundabouts in the uk now have traffic lights as well don't they? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 They do indeed. As do some motorway junction entry roads. Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 There's a roundabout in Asahikawa. Think it's the only one in Hokkaido. It's always a cluster f##k. No one really know what do to or how to enter it. Link to post Share on other sites
