Royal Standard - traffic management
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 6 Apr 2013
Council workmen had spent quite a long time working on this junction in March 2013, but the changes are quite subtle - a build-out from the kerb (right) and a rebuilding of the traffic island on a slightly different alignment to force northbound traffic from two lanes into one. An unintended consequence is that cars parking like the one in the picture - quite legally as it is only a single yellow line not in force at a weekend - prevent buses getting through. The bus driver had to honk his horn several times to get the car driver's attention.
