ab6262 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just been past top of Greenhill avenue about half hour ago, 3 ambulances and paramedics plus 2 police cars, hope everyone ok , it looked serious but think most ok, might have been one stuck in car, where it was T Boned , why on earth hasnt this junction been sorted its the filter lane than crosses over onto Greenhill avenue . i am sure a lot of drivers think this is light controlled and dont give way properly, it should be light controlled here as a lot of drivers dont understand the set up the oncoming traffic only has to stop if the pedestrian crossing is used. seen at least 5 accidents here same reason, road planners have no idea and nor do some drivers! not be long before a fatality here.

Jim Hardie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 You’d have to be an idiot to mistake a green light in the form of an arrow indicating straight ahead for one that gives you right of way when turning right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even an idiot doesn’t look at his phone when making a right turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although that maybe true as some will be drivers that learnt during covid when traffic was lighter, the main cause, in my opinion, seems to be that the 'me, me, me' type attitudes are becoming increasingly common on the roads. The 'I must get in front' & 'I'm not waiting a few seconds' types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_N Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Road junction is fine, it's some of the idiot drivers on the roads, that don't know how to drive properly. You see it daily, not just in Sheffield but across the country. Since lockdown ended, there seems to be even more idiots on the roads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
