Nightmare to drive out turning right from Woodland Road. Dangerous as no one adheres to the silly road marking allowing you to edge out onto main road. Not a lot better fro Kingston Avenue exit either as motorists tear over the canal bridge and do not slow down.
This junction has always been busy & dangerous, but more so since the traffic has increased following the development of the nearby retail units. This junction is currently not safe for drivers, cyclists or pedestrians. Many drivers are driving in excess of the 30 mph, especially around the blind bend.
I had an accident at this junction when 7 months pregnant. Someone pulling out of bilford road crashed into me after I had pulled out of my road (Woodland Road)
I use this junction every week day to take my son to perdiswell. Because of the safety issue for the children crossing the road i always stop to let them cross safely. Twice I have nearly been hit at the rear by other cars whist I did this.
My son has to cross this junction on foot or on his bike to get to and from Tudor Grange. He is keen to be more independent but the unsafe nature of this junction is a constant worry for me.
I'd have thought the case for traffic lights was overwhelming. With pedestrian phase and variable timing.
It has been increasing difficult to exit our road from both junctions on the Bilford Road. We have expressed our concerns for the 36 years we have lived here ans still no progress

I've spoken to many residents nearby. There are quite a lot of more elderly people who really struggle to get across this road. One lady actually said to me that she can no longer cross the road safely to access the shop - very frustrating if you want a pint of milk!
