Post by: Alsatian on December 11, 2013, 06:40:50 PM: Hasland junction problems are compounded by two things -

A. Cars waiting to enter/exit parking bays outside the shops

B. Delivery vehicles parked either on the main road, or blocking the parking bays.

Those problems will still remain whatever they decide to do with the junction, so how do they propose to square that circle?

As I going to move to Hasland in the near future I would like this resolved.

Post by: therealjr on December 12, 2013, 01:05:08 AM: So looking at the plan (which isnt easy given its sideways) would I be right in saying that what is proposed is to all intents
what was there before the Traffic lights were installed?

Post by: Slacker on December 12, 2013, 06:20:00 AM: Various differences:
Closing off Chapel Lane East
Zebra crossings on raised plateaus
20 limit
Coloured surfaces
Shared spaces

Obviously it would have been cheaper to do this in the first place but it was done with the best intentions. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Post by: Big Dave on December 12, 2013, 07:07:44 AM: I'm very much in favour of shared spaces but I'm not sure that a busy roundabout is the best place for a shared space with no give way lines. There's going to be a lot of confused drivers and pedestrians in Hasland after that scheme is implemented. I'm also wondering how the 20mph zone is to be enforced.
