The new crossing in Woodcote Road between HSBC and NatWest is now open and working.
There are some concerns about how drivers, queuing in the road to get past the one-way working under the railway bridge might behave if these lights go red when the temporary ones are green. The fear is that they will jump the lights and endanger pedestrians.
I stood in the sun in Woodcote Road and watched drivers at the junction for 15 minutes today and everyone was being sensible and there didn’t seem to be a problem. So I think we will need to see how the next few days go and if drivers do start to jump the lights it may be sensible to turn the permanent lights off for a few weeks - but I hope this will not be necessary.
