One way street

Reported in the Roads/highways category by Roy Harford at 13:39, Tue 18 March 2008
Sent to Wiltshire Council 1 minute later

We have several cars each day going the wrong way down our one way street. This could cause a serious accident inasmuch as vehicles exiting No's 24, 24a and 25 can possibly fail to see them coming as most of their attention is being paid to traffic (normally going too fast) approaching from the correct direction. It would be nice if we could copy Spain whereby in some areas speeding traffic is halted by Red Lights which has cameras. This probably upsets following traffic but it does have quite an effect in slowing traffic down.I would have no objections to having a temporary camera fitted on my property.

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

The Council stated that they would check that the appropriate signs were in place and visible and claimed that abuse of these signs were not their problem but that of the Police. There was no ofer of help.As yet I have not contacted the Police but intend doing so soon.

Still no feedback from Police, in fact only yesterday a Police car had to wait for a driver going the wrong way, to turn around in our drive, there was no attempt by police to approach the driver.

Traffic still goes the wrong way, even a Police vehicle did on 8th. November whilst moving no parking cones, not a good example.

I have now purchased a security camera and am in the throes of setting it up with the intention of recording the road in question. I intend supplying the Police with the evidence.

Vehicle shown being driven the wrong way down the road. Number plate not clear, will improve when new camera is set up.

Camera now in use with the intention of accurately monitoring situation.

All relevant information passed on to Mr Dick Tonge, Councillor responsible for Highways and Transport who has kindly offered to look into this problem. Hopefully we will see some action which I am sure we will as Dick is a diligent Councillor.
