| Hi Angela, This is not entirely accurate, you chose to ignore the ‘fact’ of a reduction in traffic to the area and only focussing on traffic on your road. There are two aspects here, micro and macro. On a macro level, the changes should reduce traffic to the area and to stop rat race (through traffic), apart from the dangerous illegal driving past the acacia barriers, I presume the data will show the external through traffic to have been eliminate - big win For us all, right? The Micro impact on you is entirely plausible and I am sorry for that. The change did however not change the road outside your door From a cul-de-sac to a through road, ie the ability for anyone to drive outside your door, I believe. You appear to be annoyed that your road is now a main route. But Just consider that previously this traffic was outside someone else’s door. Is your argument that it should be Anywhere but outside your door? Luckily for us, who disagree, have our local govt to make decisions on the macro aspects and Then balance Macro aspects with micro aspects. I still have to read a factual argument, on this forum, to explain why this is a bad idea (On a macro level). it is becoming more and more clear that The issues are : access to churchfield from north of goldsmith barriers and that existing routes are now getting the ‘domestic’ traffic - traffic that previously joined up with The through traffic, and passed outside someone else’s door. Which is a wholly selfish point of view. |
