Brighton: Queen's Road

Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 8 Jun 2008

Queen's Road is the busy main road, known to all train day-trippers, that leads down from the station to the seafront. The curved grey roof of the station can just be seen at the end of the street. This is the traffic light controlled junction with North Street, with a 1950s/1960s department store type building on the right. Queen's Road here forms a section of the A2010 road. (As an aside, and as a stranger to Brighton, the message on the back of the bus in front leaves me confused. Surely Dyke Road starts way up near Tivoli Crescent, and surely there is not a bus lane only operation up there? The whole sentence reads as if it is an instruction to drive down Dyke Road to the Clock Tower and the tone of the words implies that you would be unlucky if you were to be caught on camera. Some more precise wording is needed - if there is a bus only lane down Dyke Road from, say, Seven Dials to the Clock Tower then say so and state that you will be fined £60 for driving down it whatever...!)
