To be fair it has been in the plans and public that this cock up was coming for at least 2 years. I expected it to at least be finished properly though.

I think they have removed the markings from that crossing, or perhaps it wasn't a crossing or perhaps it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected it to at least be finished properly though. Its quite different to the plans though. And check the pics out again as doesnt look much room for traffic coming from north to south down the prom. Certainly looks very tight for a bus or truck etc And yes the finish is completly unacceptable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crossing outside of Admiral House - is that a pedestrian crossing or not? Were these designed approved by a traffic management consultant or some GCSE installation art student? At least if it was Banksy there would be some acerbic wit in there. Does anyone in DOI actually understand that if it is not clear how to use a road, the likely consequences are serious, if not grave? This is not designing a patio FFS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoymouse Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Someone needs to stick a live stream camera up on Monday morning. it’s going to absolute carnage, there must be a reason they installed traffic lights rather than a roundabout in the first instance, god help visitors come TT/MGP, it will be every man for themselves like QB.

I think the red concrete 'band' outside Admirals house etc is meant as a safe area for pedestrians when crossing. But that doesnt fit in with the red concrete between rails and either side of rails tbh. Its not very clear and equally not sure how it would stand up legally when a accident takes place. , and it will sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but just passing on what I've been told . Its apparently between the two lanes of traffic to allow a pause when crossing . But why not just as you say have pedestrian crossings . Who knows , maybe I was told duff info . But if so what is it for ?? Oops just read your post correctly now. Yes apparently its a pedestrian crossing , sorry , but still not sure what the red concrete wide band is for Edited June 13, 2021 by Numbnuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, it’s only opening to exit the prom on Monday……we’ve still got to wait another month until it’s fully opened!!
