The Government has unveiled plans to ease one of the South's biggest bottlenecks, the A27 between Worthing and Lancing.

The Highways Agency has drawn up six schemes to make the stretch safer and to improve traffic flow.

They include:

New traffic lights, plus the marking out of two additional lanes to each link road around the Grove Lodge roundabout
Signs alerting drivers to decreasing speed limits as they approach Worthing and Lancing
Two Puffin crossings either side of the junction with Salvington Hill and Durrington Hill
Upgraded traffic lights at the junction with Somp-ting Road and Lyons Way
Improved traffic lights at the junction of Upper Brighton Road and Busticle Lane.

Details of proposed improvements go on display at Broadwater Parish Rooms, Broadwater Street West, on Friday, from 2pm to 6pm, and on Saturday, from 9.30am to 1pm.

They will be in Durrington Community Centre until noon on Friday.

Thousands of motorists get caught in jams on the A27 and there was uproar when the Government said it was not going to press ahead with a Lancing and Worthing bypass.
