23 June (Part 1) - If at first you don’t succeed
Our man in Welling writes…
You may recall that during
Phase 1 of the Welling Corridor
improvement scheme, a new pedestrian refuge was built in Bellegrove Road at the junction
with Hill View Road (Picture 1). Then within a month, because it was impossible to turn
right into Bellegrove Road from Hill View Road, the island was modified (Picture 2).
Now more than a year on we have traffic island Mark III. The third picture shows work on
the new island and finally the resultant queue at the temporary traffic lights. What a waste
of money and so much for computer designed islands!
Trial and error again if you ask me.
Computer program will be fine, but the chumps don’t know how use it.
