Is the trams being an accident waiting to happen like the roundels being an accident waiting to happen?  Ie, how long will we be waiting?  Lots of moaning about nothing even though idiots still insist on using them like roundabouts.

How should they be used then?

Its only because "the idiots use them like round abouts" that they work at all. And is it just me or are they planning to move the war memorial to fill up all the shite space they created when for no good reason they narrowed a major thoroughfare. And it dont look like there's a wall  just a nice uninterrupted view for the people sitting there

The ambience left Douglas prom with the festoon lighting. This is just a long line of things to spunk money on, not because its needed or even being able to be delivered. Spending money for spending sakes. Its like you have a nice little firm delivering a decent product at a decent price, your making a living you are supporting staff who are making a living every one you/staff/public are happy every body doing fine. Then some pillox says you have to be expanding and be growing the business, so you buy more machines bigger premises more staff. Cut product overheads buy cheaper material, Public do not like new product you sell less. Staff cuts follow unemployment, bank calls in loans suffer from stress have heart attack. Think should of slapped that prick in the mouth when he said expand. And die

Can we have a stabit back on display, please? Why was this removed from outside the Sea Terminal (years ago now) and what happened to it?

There was a promise of a big statue of a seagull some years ago. What happened to that?

How much was spent on them before they were scrapped?

How many of the current proposals are just pie in the sky, too?

They're an un-marked junction. Nobody has priority. You just edge out and merge while being aware of other traffic.

Some just sit there like a lemon and watch all the traffic coming from their right then plough out in front of traffic coming from their left waving their arms thinking they have priority.

Apart from the marks, that is.

Give over.  There isn’t an actual road marking in sight 😂
 

It’s not for debate.  It’s an unmarked junction as explained by the police and as is obvious from the fact that there are no legal road markings.

The point is there were meant to be loads of crashes when they opened.  Apart from one blind motorcyclist in TT, I am not aware of any

They may not be legal, but there are definitely marks, is all I was saying 😆

No argument there. Maybe they should do the same at Quarterbridge.

Yes, and replace every set of traffic  lights.

For all the scaremongering when they first went in if every junction on the island was the same it would be a better place to live.
