Demand Installation of Traffic Lights at Chain Bar Roundabout
The Issue
As residents of the village of Oakenshaw, we face a daily battle with the dangerous conditions at the Chain Bar Roundabout. The lack of traffic lights on the Bradford road approach to this roundabout regularly causes extended queues and puts our lives at risk. The window to maneuver onto the roundabout can be as brief as a few seconds, creating an environment ripe for accidents. National Highways have tried remedies in the form of an extra lane and an impending bus lane. However, this has failed to cure the problem, offering no significant change to the hectic nature of our daily commute. The issue does not lie in the volume of traffic, but the lack of a regulated system to manage that traffic. The feasible solution that stands before us now is the installation of traffic lights. We urge National Highways to reconsider their decision against this measure. By installing traffic lights, we believe that we can ensure more orderly traffic flow, reduce peak times queues, and most importantly, enhance road safety. Let's make our commute safer and more predictable. Sign this petition to appeal to National Highways to install traffic lights at the Chain Bar Roundabout today.
