A10 crossroads with Carterhatch Lane

Actually, the turning right lanes here are significantly longer than those at all other Great Cambridge Road traffic lights in London, except Bullsmoor Lane. It looks to me like no more than 6-7 cars could wait to turn right off the A10 Northbound, which is a lot less than any of the other junctions I can see scrolling up and down the road on Google Earth. I don't know the road at all, but it's almost certainly a case of 'short, relative to the quantity of traffic making the right turn'. There is a junction on the A270 in Hove (near where I live) which is even more constrained in that right turning traffic has to slew across in front of the waiting 'ahead' traffic before making the right turn. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...oc=addr &om=1 That's horrendous. It is, but it sort of works. Fortunately the traffic speeds are relatively slow (30 mph limit, and it's one of a series of closely spaced junctions on the main road) so if it goes wrong it's just expensive rather than fatal. The alternatives would involve a lot of demolition or banning right turns altogether. D A Stocks |
