These new bollards have led to further delays for road users getting in-and-out of aylesbury via Bierton, with some residents claiming they have also made the route more dangerous.
Bucks Council defended the new chicanes built on the A418 Aylesbury Road which it said were authorised to divert traffic away from Bierton’s main road.
It is hoped that the scheme will lead to more motorists using alternative routes along Mike Griffin Way and Bellingham Way.
One of the concerns raised has regarded the speeds drivers navigate the bollards on the main road.
