What will it achieve? Either it will make the already long queues at the other end of Riverway with Lichfield Road even longer, or there will be even more rat running down Fairway then Queensville Avenue to get to Lichfield Road. People letting people out of Queensville Av just buggers the traffic flow on Lichfield Road, should just close that junction as already partly restricted with a no right turn from Lichfield Road anyway.riverwayevents said:
Not that particular turn, but when cycling I do the "no right turn except for cycles" from Lichfield Road into Riverway, I sometimes will signal and pull out to overtake other cyclists, and I do the right turn Lichfield Road into Silkmore Lane which involves getting out of the cycle lane across to the right hand lane. They're all interesting manoeuvres!!! Providing you look properly, signal and definite about what you're doing its fine...Gramaisc said:
The new lights at Sainsburys/Wilkos are now effectively Stop Lights as opposed to the Pelican Crossing, this actually makes is safer as the instruction are simpler ie the flashing amber is somewhat ambiguous. Also the new stop light gives about 3 times the time to cross the road, this is very important as at it's busiest 50+ pedestrians are crossing the road at one time........blueshirt said:
Thats it though, its all done under the guise of "safety improvements" but why should we spend money on safety measures to protect people who are too thick to cross a road safely. Surely this is natural selection coming into play.dylanf said:
Yes. This central computer system is located in a small room at the Staffordshire County Council Highway Offices on Riverway. This is the same place that all of the information signs around Stafford and the CCTV cameras are monitored from. All of the traffic lights can, if operators choose to do so, be adjusted remotely from Riverway depending on peak flows, exception traffic, motorway incidents etc etc.dylanf said:
