New road layout A1074 costessy
Sent to Norfolk County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5732538.
Over the last 7 months the road layout on the A1074 has been changed, in the consultation it did not mention the bus lane going from Richmond Road to the bowthorpe roundabout the junction with Stafford avenue is now dangerous, were you have positioned the give way line for drivers at the footpath does not allow drivers to see to the left there is a brick post box and trees obstructing the drivers view. You do not own the land on which the trees or postbox are so why was it designed in this way. Futher due to a lack of space vehicles turning right into Stafford avenue will now hold up traffic on the A1074 as there is no space like before to pass on the left, a further point I would like to raise you seem to be encouraging hgv’s to use the A1074 as compared to the southern bypass it is full of hgv’s. Everybody knows why because it is a shorter distance than using the bypass this is a residential area please don’t turn it in to a rat run. One final question as we do not have 24 hour buses why have we had a 24 hour bus lane imposed upon us thankyou for your time

You stated in your reply to me that cars should stop at the first line and check for cycles predestrians this does not address the issue of not being able to see to your left, you said you are reducing the speed limit to 30mph on Dereham road and over time this will hopefully reduce hgv’s transport does not comply with the 40mph so your response is laughable You said due to the low volume turning right up Dereham road having no means to pass on the left is not a problem again laughable With regards to the bus lane compliance was high when it was from 7am to 7pm all you are doing is causing gridlock on what you class a a major road into the city
