top of milnshaw lane
 

last year alterations were made to milnshaw lane to make it safer and slow traffic down

i would like to congratulate the highway departmen or who ever thought of making these alterations as it has made it near imposible to judge where traffic is coming from especialy as a pedestrian

i have just had a very near escape whilst carrying my son across the road because of the alterations made cars coming down whalley road have to leave it to leave it to the last minuite before starting to turn to go down milnshaw lane

normaly i would blame the driver but this time i can lay the blame 100% at the doorstep of whoever thought of making these alterations

i think i may need to take a picture to get my point across but anyone in the area will know what ime talking about as daily you can see people having to run for their lives because a car has asppeard from no where whilst they are half way acros the road

its not too bad when its quiet but at busy times of the day when there are quite a few cars on the road it is very hard for drivers to see pedestrians crossing the road until the very last second

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

I have to help you out having a dig at me :D

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

I have managed for 36 years without it so far.

I think (but not often) that the top of Milnshaw Road is better now. That is from a drivers point of view though.

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

PMSL for us on legs its an adrenlin rush just to cross the rd:eek: cross now ...no...yeh.... run!!!!! quick!!

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Is it when you are walking up/down Whalley Road and crossing the entrance of Milnshaw Road that is the problem?

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Both ways going up n down altho going up is a lil worse

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

From this drivers point of view i hate that junction when it's busy, you have to have eyes in the back of your head ...... I can see were chav is coming from.

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Driving up n down there is easier n have help of mirrors mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pedestrian mirrors....pmsl mmm new invention but look v daft n drivers will be too busy ptsl n let us cross looking like ninnies LOL

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

lmao! Yeah drivers have mirrors but only the same one pair of eyes the pedestrian has :cool:

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

LOL tho its still advantage drivers n u can rev yr engines to **** us up scary u lot pmsl

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

So do the cars not indicate that they are going do turn into Milnshaw Road? If not it is the fault of the drivers.

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Suppose thats why its worse going up cos it get a bit blind by sharp turn down Milnshaw specially if the drivers a bit wick lol

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Tho ive yet to see a pedestrian run a car over mmmmm ????:rolleyes:

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

It probably got to be the worse road to cross over in accy

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

some drivers indicate late so that the person behind dosnt think they are meaning to indicate to go down knowlmere street as the two entrances are right next toeach other so once the car goes past knowlmere street it is easy to miss the inication if given and some drivers do take the corner pretty sharp and end up going onto the cobbles at the end of kwickfits path which is actualy the pavement but theres no kerb just yellow lines to show where the road starts and the pavement ends

kinda tricky to explain theres so many things wrong with that junction the only way to understand is to try crossing your self at aroung 8am or tea time

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

well they expect u to be psychic LOL

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

I always indicate regardless of whether there is another car around or not! You just never know.

Now I just need to learn to drive ;)

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

ime sure you will make an EXCELLENT driver :tongue:

It sounds like that next changing for a start.

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

it is a bad junction for pedestrians no doubt - maybe could do with a pelican crossing.or summat!

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

and while the are at it they can cut those damn bushes along aldi down a few feet you can see whats cioming up the road unless you pull halfway across the road :(

Re: top of milnshaw lane
 

i know what you mean...aweful junction for both pedestrians and drivers!!! i have tried crossing as both..(not at the same time)
