Yep, it should be pedestranised, take care away, buses will have space and so will the pedestrians.

Something needs to be done, I had a near miss with a bus when I was in town on Monday.

It is quite obvious that the design of the junction is dangerous.There should be no parking on either side of the top part of the high st as this is a through route for buses and traffic.

My concern is the pedestrian crossing that is much too close to the junction.

Safety must come first. What if it's a child, an elderly or disabled person that can't move out of the way quickly. Keep broadstairs safe.

Thought as soon as they changed the layout of the road it was dangerous.

Why they felt the need to change was fine as it was

It is not only pedestrians who are at risk. The corner of Queens Road and The High Street has been a nightmare ever since it was altered. You can witness near misses by drivers on a daily basis. Drivers unfamiliar with Broadstairs are at a particular disadvantage, as it is distinctly unclear what to do at this corner, leading to frustration and bad driving decisions. I had no joy from the council when I contacted them some months after the changes were originally made. They refused to send someone to monitor the problems that have been a constant concern to both drivers and pedestrians from day one!

Ridiculous design, no logical person would have decided this was a good idea to have a crossing with two bus stops opposite each other on a blind bend in a busy high street!!!!! The world has gone mad!! Most drivers take no notice of the other junction either straight down the high street and carry on with no indication of their intentions. So so dangerous, I've seen so many near misses!!!!

Traffic unfamiliar to the area often overshoot the junction. This system causes congestion.

this needs to be made one way traffic only and Albion Street need to be just for pedestrians
