FOLLOWING the County Council's upgrade to Exchange Street it is apparent that the new pedestrian crossing installed at the bottom of the High Street has been designed to create total traffic chaos.
The lights change very quickly allowing pedestrians to cross but then remain red for many more seconds than is necessary. As a busy crossing point it is esssential that pedestrains do have a safe crossing place but the lights create a real traffic issue with queues stretching back around the inner ring road at most times of the day. The whole situation is made worse by the closure of Park Street for bridge works. Now all traffic must use the lower high street. The council seems obsessed with traffic lights..what about an underpass or a footbridge.! just as safe and it doesn't stop the traffic flow.
