FOLLOWING the recent spate of letters regarding the construction of new traffic lights at the Link Top junction, all focused on road layout and design, I consider it my social duty to state the obvious on this subject.
The simple reason this road is so dangerous, especially to people on foot, is because drivers do not obey the speed limit.
The law is clear in stating the urban road limit of 30mph is a maximum speed, not a guideline. Driving faster than this is a major cause of injury and intimidation on the roads in towns, which are after all public places. Drivers do not have a prerogative to break the law.
It is a pity that Link Top needs traffic lights. If reasonable behaviour were observed, it would not have to be enforced.
