Any driver who turns left, on any road, without looking, should be held responsible for their actions. why is this turn any different?The Bush Telegraphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255960464635692950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250470004431823419.post-22437357015736279582015-09-07T03:24:39.094-07:002015-09-07T03:24:39.094-07:00Just noticed this post.

I'm not sure why TfL won't give a straight answer, but I would say that traffic throughput would be affected because currently pedestrians can cross Wood lane at the same time as traffic coming from Uxbridge Road. If left turns were allowed, then there would need to be an extra traffic light phase where only pedestrians can cross, and all traffic would need to stop at the intersection (both from Uxbridge road and the green) - this would make quite a large impact I gather.<br /><br />In terms of the corner being too tight - probably not for the turning circle of the car, but for the visibility of pedestrians from the drivers' point of view I would agree - on many occasions I have seen pedestrians nearly knocked over by a clueless driver turning round the corner.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296357222502898186noreply@blogger.com
