Local residents and regular users of the Mexborough Dual Carriageway (Greens Way) urge the local council to reconsider the proposed reduction from a dual carriageway to a single lane. This change will cause significant traffic issues, negatively impact our community & local businesses.

Reasons to Keep Greens Way a Dual Carriageway:

Traffic Flow and Congestion:

• Dual carriageways are designed to handle higher volumes of traffic efficiently.
• Reducing the road to a single lane will likely lead to severe congestion, particularly during peak hours, causing delays and frustration for commuters.

Safety Concerns:

• Dual carriageways provide better separation between opposing lanes of traffic, reducing the risk of head-on collisions.
• Maintaining two lanes can enhance safety for all road users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

Economic Impact:

• Smooth traffic flow is essential for local businesses, ensuring timely deliveries and attracting customers.
• Increased congestion can deter potential customers and increase operational costs for businesses relying on road transport.

Environmental Considerations:

• Congested traffic leads to higher vehicle emissions, as cars spend more time idling.
• Keeping Greens Way a dual carriageway can help minimize environmental impact by ensuring more efficient traffic flow.

By gathering a significant number of signatures and demonstrating strong community support, you can effectively advocate for keeping Greens Way a dual carriageway.
