Further to the earlier posting on this topic...Yesterday I had to slow down to avoid a large van pulling out of Tesco, onto Barnard Avenue, whose driver had turned right, rather than left. The motorist did get the front seat passenger to raise a hand to acknowledge my courtesy in letting him out onto the A18
At the Annual Town Public Meeting, Maureen Glossop was quite right to flag this up as an area of concern.
How about installing a CCTV camera, watching the footage and nicking a few errant drivers?
Now the trees are coming back into leaf in the Market Place there will be CCTV cameras whose view of the town centre is restricted. So could a camera be redeployed for a short period over the spring and summer, then put back after the leaves have fallen?
......or ask Tesco to create an alternative exit onto Cary Lane/Springs Way......one-way in, one-way out.
ReplyDeleteNaughty drivers are diverted into the river!!!
There is a strong case here for 2 separate access points. The Tesco store was orignally designed as a small/medium supermarket. It took Tesco by surprise that the store has become so popular. I don't know why the proposed expansion has not taken place, but the car park is nevertheless often operating at almost full, or full capacity and in consequence someone needs to review and assess the risk for such high volume traffic movement in the area.
The police could deploy a PCSO with a video camera in one of the nearby senior citizen's bungalows.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the old dear (not the PCSO) will enjoy the company.
Another possible solution: use one of these cut-out figure of a policeman that Humberside bobbies use.
Stick it against the sign with his right-arm raised and finger pointing to the right.
Underneath could be a sign, 'LEFT IS RIGHT'......or could that be a bit confusing?
In the maentime, I'll let Ian Caswey know of my new slogan....may get a couple of bob!!!
