Not the town centre.

Always a dodgy junction due to numpties
not stopping at the giveway markings.
I would stick a speed hump in front of the
giveway markings, that will make motorists
stop / drive slower when approaching such
junctions.
Look at your Highway code. Broken white lines are GIVE WAY. Solid white lines are STOP. There is a difference or maybe you and most of the islanders are not aware of the meanings????
Obviously didn’t quite manage to get it onto its roof…
That’s next month
Lol
