Braid Road in the times of Covid

What is about to become an interesting road junction. The local Councillor has been collared by some 'concerned citizens', who are wondering what will happen when this junction reopens to traffic on Monday. Covid and 'spaces for people' have been used as reasons to alter this junction. It has been partially closed for almost a year. Originally it was a busy suburban crossroads controlled by a mini-roundabout Image During Covid Braid Road [to the left Image] was closed completely to traffic. Braidburn Terrace [top left] will become 1-way, towards the photographer. Braid Road will reopen to southbound traffic [from R-L], but with no direct access to the junction for southbound vehicles from the northern section of Braid Road! They will have to do a detour, to come up from behind me. A triumph of confusion, with still some uncertainty amongst the onlookers as to what exactly will happen. I will up-date if necessary.
