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 It's pretty clear where vehicles need to drive. Or at least it was when I drove along there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarterbridge is absolutely fine. The problem appesrs to be Manx drivers understanding how to use a roundabout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that this announcement (including the apology for the delay) is being done in the name of the contractor. Had it all come in time & on budget would the contractor have been given the credit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finishing early and under budget perhaps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticallyChallenged Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I wonder if the new 'fixture' at Broadway is one of these trendy multi-user things, where it theoretically makes it safer for vulnerable users by slowing everyone down and making them figure out what is going on. I think I've seen similar in Oxford, but there, the local view is go for it and hope nobody steps out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Johnson Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) 15 hours ago, Gladys said: But where is the traffic to go? Between the lines, or following them? 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. *I was told this last week from someone who should know these things and who had consumed a few to many if you know what I mean. "The person who drew the conceptual plans for the prom quit their job with no notice, just walked off without even clearing their desk at the sea terminal in the first week that the construction started" ETA Worth a FOI Joseum?

John Wright Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think that if you get an overhead shot looking down it’s absolutely clear where traffic goes. It’s round the outer lane. Unless you’re in a big vehicle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s round the outer lane. Unless you’re in a big vehicle I'm not so sure. The outer lane seems to be very guided towards broadway exit. Personally I'd just drive a bit more towards my intended exit (if northbound prom), directly accross 'lane 2' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People concentrating on not getting sideswiped won’t notice the pedestrians on the crossings on their exit from the “thing” Plus I thought by law a stop or giveaway line was white and reflective. Those are neither 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
