Topping and tailing to relieve traffic congestion
Share this:
From Robin Barthorp.
MAY I, through your pages, make a suggestion which I believe will alleviate the congestion in one of St Helier’s worst affected areas, namely the top and bottom ends of Gloucester Street.
Firstly, the merging traffic off the Parade and York Street into Gloucester Street should be subject to a filter-in-turn system, as used with good effect elsewhere.
Secondly, the middle lane, at the bottom of Gloucester Street ought to be arrowed to allow traffic to turn both right and left.
Those turning left, who want to use the underpass, would then use the middle lane and those wishing to get onto the Esplanade and ferry terminal area would use the existing left turn lane.
For those who want to turn right, for the west of the Island, the system would remain unchanged.
All this could easily be achieved, for only a little cost, by a handful of signs and some sensible white line marking.
