Originally it was small gap in the central Reservation for Residents to access their homes in and out of a 20 mph zone.
Derby City Council opened the central reservation gap and added a deceleration lane marking the road with a right turn which diverted main road traffic away from A5111 controlled traffic light junction with dedicated right urn filter lane only 300 yards further.
Residents complained about the restriction of the right turn out without the correct Traffic Restriction Order and the Council accepted hatched an area on the central reservation for right turners.
However, the waiting positions of vehicles on central reservation junction now are in conflict as shown in the diagram of the initial post, visibility is obstructed for a clear line of sight of on coming 40 mph traffic.
Major changes such as carried out to the A5111 a trunk road should require a Road Safety Audit.
We have asked the Council via Freedom of Information for a Road Safety Audit and Visibility Splay Test and approval records for the A5111 junction, and the Council’s response was ‘information not held’
Any help or advise to help clarify our query would be most appreciated.
Thank you
