ive never found these cross roads dangerous, mainly because i watch what im doing and concentrate, seems a waste to be fair, if i can make it across on my mountain bike why cant a car ?

Maybe you have been lucky. It is mainly fast cars coming up from Knuzden that are the problem in my opinion.

Because a bloke on a bike can out accelerate a(most) car 0-20mph? add in you are about a foot or so taller and have a lot better visibility down towards Knuzden than a bloke in a car means you have a lot better odds to start with.

We also have to remember entwisi that there are drivers who have trained with the Kamikaze school of motoring too

Had a walk round today and have put some photos in The Gallery under "Streets" looking pretty good

beacuse an absolute fortune must be blown to prevent idiots from killing themselves or others

2 speed camreas would not only stop them speeding but hopefully get them off teh roads if they did because most of teh idiots are boy racers who only need 6 points before a ban

The way Accrington Magistrates treat disqualified drivers makes me wonder why anyone bothers with licences and insurance

You gotta' admire Cllr. Britcliffe's cheek, taking credit for summat Dorothy Westell oversaw. Lottice Lane resurfacing was included in the budget for the Britannia Roundabout project ...

Oswaldtwistle road resurfacing is welcomed (From Lancashire Telegraph)

“I really do welcome the news that this stretch of road is to be re-done after I brought it to the attention of Lancashire Council Highways department. I’d like to say thank you to the people of Oswaldtwistle for getting in touch with me to let me know that it was in a dreadful state and worn away. “I’m really glad that the work is going to be re-done as it would have been a real shame to sink the ship that is the new roundabout for ha’penny worth of tar.”
