Bernard, I really think you should give the E's a miss when you are working.

Let's wait and see what the planners actually come up with, then you could write in to object, or chain yourself to the fence, or you could even stand in the middle of the junction conducting traffic

Happy New Year

In that case you could try the new bridleway at Green Haworth

earlier somone said that this junction was not deemed suitable for traffic lights..

ok so apart from a standard 4 way junction is there any more a suitable type of junction for traffic lights

roundabouts only slow down traffic , traffic lights bring traffic to a dead stand still when on red

seems to me a hell of a waste of money when either traffic lights could be installed or even the cheaper option of 4 stop sighns which would only involve 4 stop sighnt and a bit of white paint on the road

i would like to add that as a learner driver i am often amazed at how a hell of a lot of motorists dont have a clue how a roundabout works and pull out infront of me when it is my right of way etc , also anyone who uses whitebirk roundabout or the one in accy must have had a few narrow escapes from dumbasses who are clueless when using a roundabout i have had 3 near misses on accy roundabout alone

traffic lights are easier to understand , red means bloody stop even the most dumb of people know that , i think ....?

It does still seem an extraordinary amount of money to spend.

No matter how much money you throw at a problem, there will always be idiots on the road who think they are playing a computer game, and drive with a death wish. Sadly not always there own.

No dis-respect chav1, but you need to use the junction to understand the problems there, as for the 4 "stop" signs, great everyone stops, but who goes first?
Traffic Lights, well the planners tell us they would not be suitable for this junction, I can understand that because of the type of usage of the roads to the junction, peak times.
One of the main problems being that if you are coming to the junction from Guide, you are nearly out in to the road before you can see what is coming from the Duckworth Hall side, the same applies if you have come up New Lane.

I use the junction regularly, and am still of the opinion that a mini roundabout would work.

Then again I'm not one of the planners who've have made our road system one of the worst in Europe.

I will totally agree with you there, how many of them have modified their cars.............to be "Go faster"

Like I said earlier, and without speaking ill of the dead, the boy whose death sparked this campaign, was speeding, and like I stated, I saw him drive very, very fast whilst children played in the street on other occasions.

We agree.

Not smoking suits you.
