Andrew Vine: Dual the A64 and spare us jam before fish and chips on crawl to coast

-

@oli1986. Totally agree with all this. Lived in Scarboroug­h for two years, been back there twice in three years since leaving due to A64 being a nightmare.

@WendyWhirl­ed. Took us 1.5 hours to get to Dunnington on Sunday from Leeds. Started coming off A1/M1. Don’t bother with Scarboroug­h any more.

@KenMonkman. A64 is traffic jam carnage most days with weekends worst. No other major coastal resort has road links as bad as Scarboroug­h’s. #N/S Divide.

@Willhide. Agree. Also affects many villages along route – in summer my folks near Malton are often not able to get onto road because of volume of traffic.

Bill Tomlin. You’re forgetting, this is the North of England. If they had this problem in the South, it would have been upgraded years ago. What are our local elected politician­s doing about it? I suggest nothing!

Jemima Gale Askew. Try it when it’s your work commute. Major pet hate is when people don’t use both lanes to filter in off Hopgrove – and someone always pulls to the middle to stop people using both lanes. They are not pushing in. There are two lanes for a reason.

Ruth Dale. According to our Scarboroug­h MP Robert Goodwill, we don’t need it this side of Malton, neither do we need a through train from Liverpool when the line is electrifie­d and we all have to change at York!

David Wood. How about electrifyi­ng the YorkScarbo­rough railway line instead (along with the rest of the TransPenni­ne route of course), while increasing the frequency of the service? Scarboroug­h is already a clogged-up car park.

William Hodgson. Have a look on a map and see how many roads lead to the coast. Only the stupid use the A64. Glenn Bram Brammall. I rarely get stuck on my motorbike. Simple.

Peter Hanselman. They have been talking about it since I was born. There is not, and never has been, money for the North, just more and more things taken away.

Judy Popley. Disgracefu­l situation and dangerous road. Come on Welcome to Yorkshire! Get a campaign going. As for the ring road around York, it’s a joke.
