Cutting corners...

A local website dedicated to sustainable transport in Whitchurch has shown strong support for this campaign, including some stunning new photos of cars and HGV's cutting the corner of the intersection:

Yesterday on a stunning late Autumn ride I took this photo of the road surface. It's a bit hard to make out, but you can see how the grit on the hatching area (laid the previous evening) has been swept clean by the tyres of vehicles cutting the corner. From the centre of the proper lane to where vehicle tyres have swept the grit away is over two meters - which give you an idea of just how far over vehicles are cutting the corner:

    Pop up to Lynch Hill Park at London Road to see all the wooden bollards knocked over...again.
