I've updated the road on OSM with this number and marked it as a non-primary road for now, but with tags to check road status. As you say, the green signs may be botched like the A5061, which is marked as non-primary on OS Maps.

Excellent.

I've noticed before that the A5061 bit between the A49 and A57 section isn't shown as primary on some maps but all road signage throughout are green.

There is one sign that show the A5061 as non-primary on Sankey Way: https://goo.gl/maps/qxsNaaURV6PbdaLfA but this is the only one as far as I can see. Ordnance Survey does also show the A5061 are non-primary. I've updated it to Primary on the Waze map.

Ah well spotted. Another one of those Primary / Non Primary anomalies !

There has been quite a few comments from locals about the traffic light set up at the A5061 - Slutchers Lane junction. Exiting the new road at Slutchers lane, traffic is only permitted to turn left. Although there is nothing physically stopping you turning right. While the traffic exits Slutchers lane the lights heading east are both on red for right turn onto Slutchers lane and straight on for A5061 even though there is no conflict. Is this just plain wrong or is there a reason for this?

I see the exits of Slutchers Lane are still missing the END plates below the clearway signs. There are plenty of examples of that around Runcorn too. Is there a map or list of clearways available somewhere?

I hadn't noticed that. But it doesn't surprise me. The side road just over the railway bridge isn't signed with a give way or stop sign either and i would say it desperately needs one from past experiences and the fact that emerging from there has limited visibility.
They have also changed the signal phases at that end after several complaints.

They've changed the signal phases by the police station? Do you know what they were and what they are now? I assume the side road you're referring to is the one leading to the go karting, I noticed there are no markings there either.

Yes correct.
Basically when they were first set up, traffic going eastwards along Wilson Patten Street were held at a red while was traffic exiting out of Slutchers lane (left turn only) therefore were held unnecessarily with no conflict. This has now been changed. See image below from the UTMC council dept.

Seems like a bit of an oversight that it wasn't set up that way in the first place, unless they originally planned to let Slutchers Lane exit eastbound (even just for cycles).

I think that is possibly the case as looking at the road layout it looks set up for traffic to turn right (space wise)
