Our local Council, in their wisdom, have installed some lovely 'window boxes' full of very pretty flowers on the safety railings situated at a busy T junction. Lovely though it is, it is certainly a major hazard when exiting from that junction. Same Council has planted some lovely bushes on the grass verges, in an attempt to stop people parking on them. Those same bushes, after 12 months, are now a hazard, restricting vision to the right when exiting a junction. Obviously those making these decisions, either do not drive or live in the area ?? Up by us the council has actually put up barriers to impede the line of sight to stop people pulling straight from a bypass onto a roundabout They thought it would make people slow to look properly instead of pulling straight onto the roundabout In reality it makes people have to stop - causing mayhem and the shall i shant i go - crashes galore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
