Speeding and Road Surface

The junction connecting Victoria Park Road with Mare Street would benefit enormously from chicane-style traffic calming (*not* speed bumps - see below re noise). At the moment lorries - which shouldn't be on VPR anyway - race down towards the lights in order to get round before a red.
There is also a very real problem from the many bumps and potholes in the road. Because so many lorries use VPR the noise of banging and crashing is ridiculous. There should be strict enforcement of time restructions for lorries on VPR - none after 10pm and none before 7am.
