Traffic lights on junction 3 roundabout of M18
Dear Doncaster Borough Council,
I would like to request information as to why there’s no traffic lights on the exit slip road of junction 3 of the M18 south bound when entering the roundabout? Every other approach to the roundabout has traffic lights except for this one. At peak times, there are numerous traffic light cycles allowing all other traffic to enter the roundabout but traffic entering the roundabout from the exit slip road doesn’t move because there are no gaps. This means traffic backs up on the live lanes of the motorway and it’s an accident waiting to happen.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Holiday

Dear Mrs Holiday,
Thank you for your recent email dated 10^th October. I can confirm that
Doncaster Council in conjunction with National Highways are looking at
improvements to junction 3 of the M18. These improvements will include
localised widening of the west bound off slip and the installation of
traffic signals at the top of the slip road. The scheme is currently being
designed by AECOM and once the design has been completed, approved by
National Highways and planning consent gained a contractor will be
appointed to construct the improvements.
Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate in
contacting me.
