QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson

To ask the Chief Executive when the timing of the green light for pedestrians at the Fonthill Rd/Castle Road/L1015 junction will be increased as previously agreed, it needs another 3 seconds or so to be safe for children and older people to cross?

REPLY:

I have asked our Traffic Light maintenance contractor to have a look at this and the matter should be dealt with shortly.  I do know that this junction was looked at before.  I might point out that that there is a green time, amber time to complete the crossing and a delay start of traffic built into each pedestrian phase to ensure that pedestrians are not caught in the middle of the junction before the traffic starts moving again.
