Traffic outside Captain Cook's School, Marton
The high volume of traffic that passes by Captain Cook's School (entrance through the green gates) makes crossing the road a very hazardous affair for school-goers.

Traffic flow at Marton Interchange
The white van shown in this picture is using the slip lane to enter the A174(T) west-bound traffic flow. The blue lorry shown in the right-hand side of the picture has left the A174(T) trunk road and is waiting at the traffic lights in order to turn right into the south-bound flow of traffic towards Marton shops.

A174(T) - flow splitting of traffic on the exit slip road at Marton
The flow splitting arrangement shown here allows traffic from the west-bound carriageway of the A174 trunk road to split into two streams. At the junction, the north-bound flow (in the direction of Middlesbrough) can turn right onto the A172 road while the south-bound flow can merge left into traffic heading for Marton.

Mid-day traffic at Marton Shops
The large number of traffic lights in the Marton area creates something of a 'bottle-neck' in relation to traffic flow. In this picture, the down-flow towards the Middlesbrough direction is being held up by the pedestrian crossing near to where the bus is located. Marton shops can be seen in the background of the photograph and Marton Estate Square is just to the left.

Marton Estate Square
This small shopping centre was recently built on land which was originally occupied by a petrol station. In some ways, it is just an extension of Marton's main shopping area (see here -
Image). Marton Library is located about 100 yards to the right of this square (see here -

Deserted car park at Marton shops on Christmas Day (view NW)
During the day, a deserted car park is a very unusual sight at Marton shops. Christmas Day is probably the only day of the year when it is completely devoid of vehicular traffic. This photograph was taken looking in a north-westerly direction towards the Marton Country Club just before mid-day.
