8 December (Part 1) - Bexley’s road junctions. Lethal after all
Earlier this week I was accused of saying the Bourne Road London Road
junction in Crayford is lethal which was another of Bexley Conservatives’
outrageous lies. One of the earlier designs was lethal but Bexley Council agreed
that it was and changed it. However a junction in Abbey Wood may be lethal.
I was on one of my regular reconnoitres along Harrow Manorway to see what if any
progress has been made on the reconstruction this week and needed to cross the
road by the Yarnton Way roundabout.
While doing so I was distracted by a disturbance by the car wash and perhaps because
of that went from pavement to road without noticing. Fortunately a lady driver was not
going very fast and stopped in time.
I went back to look at the road markings and found there were none. Things will
be a little bit better once the job is finished but right now there is no
demarcation whatsoever between where a pedestrian may safely walk and the roadway.
Typical Bexley.
