| The problem with all these lights and road closures and roadworks is that they are making things unpleasant and dangerous for everyone - those on foot, those on 2 wheels and those on 4 wheels. I've seen some pretty reckless overtakes on the South Ealing Road recently between MacD's and the roundabout. Last night the queue stretched from MacD's to the roundabout. You get those on 2 wheels weaving in and out of the crawling traffic - never a good idea on a dark, damp night. I saw motorcyclists using the pavement. I saw cars storming past the queue on the offside to access the right turns. And it must be horrible for the people living on that stretch of road. People (not just car drivers) are getting frustrated by it all and are taking risks. I can't (not publicly) condone it but I understand it and I bet the accidents last night wouldn't have happened but for all this nonsense. North of the A4 the offshoots of Junction Road are getting clogged up with people trying to get from Windmill Road to the A4 and back again. The roads are only wide enough for one vehicle and so there are confrontations developing between vehicles travelling in opposite directions. It's too much and it's been going on for too long. It's all badly organised and badly managed and the effects of it are detrimental to everyone living in or trying to get through the area. |
