Traffic Calming good or bad?
How many of us want safe roads? At a guess I would say 100%, but what is a safe road? Is it as I pointed out in another thread a road that causes frustration for drivers because unlike the old tradition where a bus moves into a bay at the side of a road, the bus stop is built out to cause chaos for traffic in both directions!
Or is it the dicing with death Chicanes on charter street where people have been seen to speed up to try and make it first forcing the true priority driver to make some very strange and last minute manoeuvres to avoid a crash?
Or maybe the real traffic calming are the suspension ruining and drain destroying humps that just end up as a challenge to the ' I can get over that just watch me brigade'?
I believe most of this type of calming was created by a none-driver that has now moved on to cock-up pastures new. Would it be possible for our esteemed council to take another look and perhaps do something to rectify this persons mistakes, after all even the emergency services have criticised this mess!
