The A1214 ring road around Ipswich is hard enough to navigate at the best of times. Now with the completion of the new Blondie roundabout, things have gone from bad to worse.
The Suffolk Gazette had received numerous reports from bewildered drivers concerned at the confusing directions on the signage at the rotunda. Umpteen motorists have told how they have taken wrong turns. Driven around in circles, and ended up going the wrong way because of the unusual and amusing directions.
Blondie Ipswich dates cancelled
Based on the 1978 hit record ‘one way or another’ by iconic, new wave pop group. Blondie, the signpost instructs road-users to drive ‘one way’ ‘or another’ in pursuit of ‘finding and getting’ an unidentified individual. Possibly a love interest. It is not known whether any of the Blondie band members including lead singer, Debbie Harry have ever driven on the A1214.
