We the undersigned strongly protest at Nottinghamshire County Council’s recent changes to the layout of the northbound section of Musters Road in the vicinity of the junctions with Melton Road and Rectory Road, West Bridgford. We agree strongly with the officer advice given to the Cabinet Member for Transport and Highways on 25th January 2011 that making these changes would reintroduce serious safety concerns which the previous layout was designed to prevent. In our view, the changes are potentially life-threatening particularly for cyclists wishing to continue along Rectory Road towards Tudor Square. We also note that the advice to the Cabinet Member included a warning on the potential for the changes to result in increased collisions caused by motor vehicles making last-minute decisions. We therefore call upon the County Council to restore much safer road layout arrangements, in the interests of general road safety and particularly to safeguard vulnerable road users.
im honestly blown away by how much this has picked up speed lately because it shows people really are worried about how dangerous that junction feels. seeing so many people agree that this layout needs to be fixed gives me a lot of hope that the council is finally going to listen.

If ignoring expert officer advice results in death or injury I trust that the Council member responsible for the decision is held to personal account.

This goes against common sense and the rights of cyclists, as well as the government’s attempts to increase cycle provision.

Hardly anyone knows what lane they are supposed to be in now. See near misses every single morning.

TOTAL MADNESS. Who on earth thought this was a good idea? Needs putting back to how it was immediately before someone gets killed.

The traffic here is already a nightmare. This new layout is going to cause a massive pile up sooner or later.

Ridiculous decision. I cycle this route every day and it feels like a total death trap now. Why fix what wasnt broken?
