Dangerous road junctions are one of my big pet hates, around here I could take you to the top 3 dangerous junctions and they are all on new road schemes built within the last 10 years.
I even wrote to the highways department about one in our town and they told me to speak to the local authority. The very same authority many had already complained to and got nowhere. They have placed some traffic light at a junction in town, and only put traffic lights on the nearside of the road, lorries park on the pavement obscuring the lights whilst making deliveries and one day a stranger is going to innocently knock someone over, as it also includes a pedestrian crossing.
Has anyone ever seel a traffic controlled junction with lights on the left of the road but not on the right?
I know it was another council c**k-up, they had to re-do it twice and probably run out of funds. Thats our council for you
