Local residents and walkers of the South West Coast Path 120 have expressed concerns over the size of vehicles trying to make there way through Laskeys Lane there have also been some vehicles getting stuck .... Unfortunately SAT Nav doesn't take narrowness and quality of life into consideration when producing their software.... I have therefore agreed to pay for some signing for Cliff Road and Laskeys Lane warning drivers that the road isn't suitable for larger vehicles such as vans, LGV's etc . The funding will come from my locality budget and cost will be approx £1000.
Our Traffic Engineers have some thoughts that changing the lining at junctions (Adding a give-way marking at the junction of Cliff Road and Southway, and changing the priority at the junction of Hillside Rd and Alma Lane) could make the route less of an open invitation. This is a slightly larger and more costly piece of work which I have asked to be looked at as part of the Traffic Management plan.
