That junction needs changing so many RTI’s there poor visibility trying to turn out of there
Cheaper solution: people to drive more carefully.
People cannot be trusted.
I am fed up seeing motorists texting and on their
phones when looking in my rear view mirror.
Police need to start patrolling in unmarked vehicles
on a daily basis, they would catch hundreds of motorists
breaking the law everyday on our lawless roads.
there is nothing wrong with the visibility at either end of the lane, care and judgement is all that’s needed
Until the Authorities put in safety measures on Island roads
Accidents will keep happening.
If I had a pound for every vehicle that Turns right into George Street, Ryde from from the
Esplanade, even though there is a NO RIGHT TURN SIGN
I would be rich
CCTV at such junctions and decent speed Camera’s etc
WHAT IF A PEDESTRIAN WHO DOESN’T EXPECT VEHICLES TO BREAK THE LAW
BY TURNING RIGHT GET RUN OVER!!!!!
The Interchange is more dangerous than before the works were completed
Let’s make our roads a safe place for everyone
We need to make our STREETS safer first. That’s going to be much harder to do now Labour, not Reform are now running the country.
Funding the wasters more to buy much needed votes, and taking from pensions and , come October budget, those who have worked hard to better themselves.
Someone has to fund the daily arrivals and the hoards they then produce, and it won’t be any of our leaders footing the bill
You could earn a fortune for every bike that cycles the wrong way at the top of Ryde High Street.
And to the doughnut woman doing it today, while you was showing us how nice your 2 finger nails were, at least that is what I presume you were doing, any vehicle turning the corner would have flattened you!
Think….one way not bike.
Older generation again with there bad driving
