Regarding traffic calming in Middlehill Road, Colehill – what a mess and waste of our money.
Has it made any difference to the speed of the traffic? No.
Is the chicane working? No, only to confuse motorists. I use this road each day and have witnessed road rage with people shouting and waving at oncoming motorists as they pull out in front of them from the obstruction.
The normal reaction of visitors to the area when approaching this is that they have priority and the people coming to the obstruction will stop as per the Highway Code.
The protrusions from the pavements do nothing but present cyclists with a problem – they have no option but to swerve into the road in front of vehicles.
It is an accident waiting to happen.
This is a feeder road to four schools where children and others are being encouraged to use bicycles.
This road has now become more dangerous than it was before.
Did anyone actually think this through before approving it? It should be ripped out and done properly before someone is seriously hurt.
Mr R C Jones, Colehill
