This web page on Medway Council's website illustrates the danger that at least some of this drivers present, complete with short video clips from the cameras on the site. I don't fancy having any avoidable hazards there, and certainly not this one, so I hope that all those caught on camera are dealt with in a strong enough way to act as a deterrent for the future.
There'd have to be a suitably narrow way through for bicycles, which are also allowed – though I can't see why they are permitted anyway: there seems to be no valid reason for this.
Perhaps if the council in their wisdom had not made it impossible to go through Chatham (from North to South) rather than having to either cut through a maze of side streets or divert completely around the town centre and a long series of traffic lights, this problem would not have arisen.
ReplyDeleteYes the drivers are naughty, but the culpability for this goes all the way back to the council and their road management schemes.
