Buxton in the high peak has suffered unneeded congestion for many years now. A6, A53, A515,all meet in Buxton. The greatly increased traffic has got steadily worse, creating accidents along the A6 where people are trying to u-turn. The damage to the Peak District environment must also be highlighted
More details
Increased population in Fairfield has also made a fair impact and this again causes issues as the children attend school the bad placement of crossings only add to the congestion. I believe that a combination of bypass and skywalk/overpass will decrease traffic, lower RTA and make safer travel for children. http://buxtontownteam.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Buxton-on-the-Move-conference-report.pdf

A good start would be no turning right into lightwood road from Fairfield road, from the bottom of Fairfield road to aldi there are 3 roundabouts and 3 sets of traffic lights
There does need to be some action since loosing the lollypop man at queens ave my school run has become more dangerous.
Apart from affecting the normal day to day business and trade of the town, the traffic congestion plays a major part in reducing the much needed tourism to Buxton
Every route into Buxton is congested. It is becoming increasingly unsafe. Pedestrian crossings need to be put in the right places. If you start work at 9 for example and you are travelling into Buxton a 3 mile journey would take you up to 45 mins.. Traffic is very busy all day on A6.
Something needs to happen to ease the congestion. The A6 is a major national route,the tiniest hold up can lead to miles of tailbacks all along the A6 and Buxton isn't big enough to cope with this congestion and completely gridlocks the town. This doesn't just cause logistical and access problems but offsets to the economy in many ways.
This has been much needed for a while now. The A6 Fairfield Road is a nightmare. I try to avoid it as much as I can, particularly early morning and late afternoon, but if you need to get to Fairfield, or even the outlying villages that side of town, there's no alternative. Fortunately for me, I live at the other side of town, but I feel so sorry for those who live and work in Fairfield. Time for change!
Ridiculous road a6 always gridlock most days 40 mins to get from common into Buxton

As a resident of Fairfield I feel increasingly frustrated at the lack of concern about the state of access into Fairfield and lack of action. Apart from the very sad fatal accident the other week, which gridlocked Buxton for hours there are problems with heavy goods vehicles accessing the industrial estate, buses not being able to run to schedule and other issues to numerous to mention. We in Fairfield need help and we need it now !!!
