Shaftesbury Square was once an important junction on the road from Belfast to Dublin via Bradbury Place Image where there had been a turnpike toll house and Balmoral Image where there is now a flyover Image Traffic was controlled by a celebrity policeman until The Troubles caused his replacement (on safety grounds) by an equally well-known traffic warden (both often received Christmas presents from passing drivers). Manual control has now been replaced by multiple sets of traffic lights, with various filter arrows, making the place quite simple to use. The former Ulster Bank Image is on the right.
