  • I really think that traffic lights should be installed at the roundabout since selfish drivers cause log jams by ignoring the keep clear box and preventing those wanting to cross the junction from going forward.

    Thanks for the report about the accident in Lewisham town centre. I figured something major had happened since there was a lot of slow moving traffic and re-routed buses on Burnt Ash Road.

  • I have to agree. I think it’s now time to install traffic lights at this roundabout.
