The existing traffic light system has been replaced with a temporary roundabout whilst roadworks are hapenning. Instead of replacing the traffic lights, I am petitioning for a permanent roundabout to be constructed.
Pedestrian crossings could be installed (Pelican/Toucan or traffic Islands) set back from the junction, so at to only stop the flow of traffic when there is a pedestrian actually needing to cross.
Why is this important?
Traffic flows much more freely, even with the roadworks and barriers in place. This is a busy and major Road/Junction and the roundabout is enabling the movement of vehicles in a much more efficient manor.
