Hertfordshire County Council have asked Peter Jackson for an updated quote on the safety improvements completed last year to the Watford High Street/Water Lane junction
Sadly Peter was unable to agree their 100% positive suggestion due to remaining issues. 90% of drivers still fail to stop or look right at the stop lane when turning into High Street from Water Lane and the beneficial wands segregating the cycle lane in the High Street Water Lane to Ring Road section have been removed
Peter offered the following amended version:
“The realignment has greatly improved visibility, allowing people driving and cycling to see each other sooner, and we’ve noticed slower vehicle speeds and more considerate behaviour, such as cars stopping for pedestrians. However, 90% of drivers still do not stop or look right at the Stop Line and the beneficial wands segregating the High St Cycle Lane Water Lane to the ring road section, have been removed. Overall, it’s a good step forward given the space available.”
