This is one of three new "Puffin" crossings recently installed on the Comber Greenway. These new-style crossings have a movement-sensitive sensor to detect when cyclists and pedestrians are on the crossing and only when the sensor detects that the crossing is clear do the lights change in favour of the traffic. This has the advantage that slower, elderly pedestrian users aren't caught part-way across when the lights changed on the usual timed basis and also traffic won't be held up unnecessarily by having to wait for a period after the crossing is clear when only faster users, i.e cyclists, are crossing.

A Northern Ireland Railways' 80-class set is approaching the site of Ballymacarrett Halt (see: Image] ) with the 09.44 passenger service from Great Victoria Street station to Bangor.

The traffic-light controlled “T” junction with Dee Street and the entrance to Belfast Harbour estate. If the envisaged widening ever takes place it would be replaced by a reconstructed bridge at Dee Street and, at some more distant time, a new grade-separated junction at the Connsbank Road Image
