More on County Road North - National Avenue junction

John Fareham and John Abbott have secured further enquiries into the problem with traffic lights at the junction of County Road North and National Avenue.

John Abbott says, “As previously reported, we asked the officers to take a look at the problem some local residents were experiencing with turning round from County Road North into National Avenue.  They have since carried out experiments with a bicycle which confirmed that the detector mechanism was in fact working correctly.  The officers believe that the problem lies with motorists who do not pull up far enough forward to actuate the mechanism which controls the street lights.  The detector loop cannot be moved further back but the officers have undertaken to keep the matter under observation and to consider alternative means of detecting road users if the problem persists.”
