Why didn't they just shove some traffic lights there and be done, probably a fraction of the cost and a day or two at most to fit. none of this buying two fields etc

i said teh very same thing when we first talked about these plans on here and got shot down for it
anyway i still maintain traffic lights woudl be better than a roundabout and a lot cheaper
my reasoning is that a red light is more noticable than a roundabout ahead sign and also a red light means stop where as at a roundabout people will be fighting to get out just like they do at theat awfull mini roundabout in blackburn leading up to the KFC next to the BP petrol station
