When LCC altered the end of the Dunkenhalgh way by-pass to a sharp blind corner with shrubbery they created an accident black spot. Almost every other day you can see, or see evidence of a smash on that awful idea yet nothing done about it not even clearing the greenery and trees. In fact they made visibility worse for drivers by adding a blind spot to the right as well as the left by sticking up a huge set of black and white arrows.

I don't know what their intention was because when travelling down that stretch of road it becomes clear very quickly that there's a huge roundabout and you ain't going through it.

The amount of money wasted on these 20mph signs must be staggering and its not as though its compulsory its a choice made by some halfwit somewhere up the ladder or chain in command of the "I HATE CARS" department. Surely there were other pressing matters that needed money and other areas seem to be getting along fine without 20mph road signs on streets no longer than 20 yards.

On Harvey street there is one of those mind your speed signs set to 20mph that like to try and tell you off by flashing at you for a stretch no longer than 100 yards and a 20mph sign to match it.The sign only ever works for a day at most because it can't handle the 50mph upwards readings and shuts down. Happen a good job it isn't facing the other way I've seen cars pulling at least 70 mph down Harvey street and they don't stop in case kids are coming out of the houses at Foxfields on their bikes either.

When I was a lad we were taught road safety its about time peoples safety was put back into their own hands and not reliant on a small circle with a number on it or a speed bump.

I'm not suggesting it should be a free for all but our roads and lamp posts are littered with so much information and squiggles of white paint or red tarmac it's a wonder anyone is concentrating on the actual driving part.
