| Junction Lowson Street and North Roadp
14 Oct 2008 |
A resident has expressed concern re road safety and access at the junction of Lowson Street and North Road, particulary during rush hour periods.
Here is the response from the Highways Safety Officer-
"Thank you for raising the issue at Lowson Street and I will survey the junction one night at 5pm as requested.
I had a quick look during the day yesterday and I must admit that the visibility to the right exiting the junction is not good.
Parked vehicles on the A167 south of the junction were affecting the visibility and I feel that something could be introduced to alleviate this problem.
However, there hasn't been a personal injury accident at this junction in the last five years.
I am also aware that Major Projects downstairs have a scheme in the pipeline to improve the junction and to convert the existing pelican crossing to a toucan crossing.
This scheme is still at the initial stages so I am sure that additional safety measures could be included if deemed necessary.
I will contact you again after the survey to let you know the best way forward"
