QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the Chief Executive to agree that SDCC should carry out the necessary works to rectify the problem of large vehicles being unable to navigate this junction without impinging upon the verge and green of the roundabout at St Johns Lawn and Green. (please see photo supplied).

REPLY:

The team have looked at this roundabout.  The turning circles are well within specifications and the lane widths are above average.  There should be no need for HGV's to mount the roundabout in its current configuration.

However, as damage has already taken place on the central island - The traffic section proposes to relay the kerb line of the island at a higher level which will prevent straight line line cutting movements.

It has been included in our programme of works.
