MOTION NO.18

MOTION: Councillor D. McManus

To ask the Chief Executive to consider recent work carried out by a contractor on behalf of SDCC whereby the mini roundabout at the junction of St. James's Road and St. Joseph's Road was removed; there is now confusion on the part of many motorists when travelling through this junction - while a new stop sign and line have been put in place for traffic exiting St. Joseph's Road, a lot of the time drivers travelling in either direction along St. James's Road are still yielding to the traffic exiting from St. Joseph's Road. This is because the painted yield signs and the mini roundabout are appearing to oncoming traffic as though these are still in place. The road surface is uneven at this spot that the junction needs to be properly resurfaced and if a statement is available?

REPORT: 

Subject:

The Traffic Section has inspected the junction at St. James's Road and St. Joseph's Road following recent works. We acknowledge the concerns raised regarding driver confusion due to the remnants of the previous road markings still being visible.

SDCC are currently seeking prices for the resurfacing works.  

To address this issue, the existing surfacing material will be planed out, replaced with new surface material and new fresh line marking will be applied to the new surface material.  This will ensure that the markings and signage are clear to the motorist.  SDCC are currently seeking prices for the resurfacing works and subject to having available funding the works will be completed.
