Dill Hall Lane Traffic Lights

[accyman]

i was up that way around 4pm ish and there was quite alot of police with flashibng lights parked up near where the xmas tree is usually put on the left hand side

dont tell me the new light startled evryone and caused a pile up

couldnt get a good look i was going too fast to see propper and turning left so ....

No, someone on a motorbike was quite badly hurt, wasn`t near the lights and I don`t know how bad. It was at the junction where dill hall lane used to go down to petrol station but is now a dead-end.

A filter on the lights coming up Henry St turning right into Hyndburn Rd could be useful too. I've sat in a queue there many a rush hour!

Always thought it would be better with a roundabout there, with traffic signals at peak times.

Could you design us a Practical roundabout that would fit into the existing space?

The traffic lights could be added a couple of years later thus hiding the extra expense.

No point in a roundabout as most seem not to know what to do when they get there. Seems to be iv'e got a better car than you so i have priority these days.

at whitebirk anything from moorbikes to articulated waggons jump the red lights.Me and my son were nearly wiped out by a waggon and escaped death by a mere whisper .

i wish i could say it was a rare occurance but at every change of teh lights at least 3 cars or more jump red yet lancashire county council refuse to install red light cameras that will punish these morons.

before they will consider it a cetrain amount of people have to die

I suspect I know what you whispered, but you can't get it past the swear checker on here!

Are we allowed to decide who to kill so they will install the cameras?

A bit of a wander off the thread, but I have just visited the place where I was born at the bottom of Dill Hall Lane.In the old days I would come down Henry Street then up the hill past my birth place and on up to Clayton. I was completely disorientated by these traffic lights.Where was Gatty Park? Where was Steiners? Can we please have Church back as it used to be?

To get to Gatty Park from Henry street, you turn right at the lights towards town, through some more lights at KFC and it is on your left, don`t know what/where Steiners is.

The red lines on the map are where the old road used to run, with a dead end at manor place. Gatty Park is where the red circle is.

Jim if you look at the Google map coming up Henry St take the turn on the left before the traffic lights and follow the road round up to the small car park. You can then walk to the canal. It is now Emersen/Renwick what used to be Steiners

From ClaytonX`s description, Steiners is where the Green circle is on the attached map.
