AlanShimmin Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Right, enough is enough of this. In good faith I'm contacting DOI and Roads Policing to ask about this creation before it's opened up to the public. It appears this isn't a recognised type of junction and therefore there must be a very clear set of safety criteria they will have run for this. Can they categorically confirm that it meets all relevant safety criteria? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was a temporary crossing. No end of people not surprisingly went through the free light, which was about 20 yards before the stop sign, and assumed they were getting a green light to join the prom. Genius Oh shit! Quite foreseeable. Atrocious signage on the whole project. I’ve seen keep left and keep right signs next to each other in the early days.

The prom crossings (there will be an accident within 12 months)That awful crossing in St John’s. The road by the back of bike style had tape on the kerb so people didn’t trip. The one at Nelson street by shaws brow is a trip hazard. Plus, all the stuff they are putting in looks awful after a few months of use. The bits of the prom that have been driven on already look a right state. The levels of incompetence are mind boggling. It has taken years, cost an absolute fortune, and is still total gash. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one at Regent St will be first. The first one is marked as a zebra crossing, the second one looks like a crossing but isn’t marked as one. Confusion between vehicles and pedestrians isn’t good. I seem to have buggered up quoting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is such a glaring issue and clearly doesnt meet road traffic regs that they will be brave to ignore it if brought to there attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be being dug up soon anyway as both are subsiding and breaking up. You also have red concrete being used as a pedestrian safety refuge on Loch/Harris promenade and to indicate danger on Central /Queens promenade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they sort of painted over it, but now you can’t tell what the actual road markings are. Likewise the new layout at the top of Royal Avenue. Now just one lane with no right turn heading towards halftime, but when heading that way in the sun you can’t actually tell they have removed the markings, so you regularly see people sitting in the old right turn lane that isn’t actually there anymore with traffic heading into Onchan heading straight for them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s two different junctions but I can’t see the Sefton one being and better than Broadway at this rate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I totally agree its not. This will have to be redone and quickly at the bottom of broadway as its not legal i'd say . Never mind the standard of work.
