Ah, but where we could do with a bit of traffic calming, we get nothing. The road I live on has no pavements for most of its length and is narrow. I live on a corner, an unmarked crossroads. Now in theory all vehicles should slow down and prepare to give way at unmarked crossroads, but on our road the crossroad is hard to spot and cars race up the street and fail to slow. You take your life in your hands sometimes to turn right, even though it's a very quiet road. The council put in rumble strips a few years back to herald the crossroads, but of course they've worn to almost nothing now. What we need is either a cross roads sign or give way road markings... or a mini roundabout at a push, but please, no speed bumps![B)]
