Temporary One-Ways and Speed Limits
The closure of Forest Road requires traffic under diversion to use a number of lanes that are not suitable for two-way traffic flow with the traffic volumes affected. Therefore, a number of roads and lanes will be subject to temporary one-way working and a temporary speed limit of 20 mph will apply in the diversion system.
Rue des Agneaux will be one-way from La Soucique Lane to Chemin Le Roi crossroads. The Chemin Le Roi, Les Moulpieds and Les Planques will be one-way from Chemin Le Roi crossroads towards Les Cornus.
Road users can check the progress of the works via the States Traffic and Highways Services IRIS Roadworks Planner website.
