The Local Highways Panel met last Thursday afternoon. It may not be worth giving a full report on the meeting – nothing terrible happened , nothing wonderful happened. However one item was about having a yellow box junction at the the northern arm of the Fairglen Interchange in Rayleigh. A number of people have been pushing to have a yellow box junction there, to stop drivers who want to turn left to Rayleigh from blocking the roundabout. This has now been agreed in principle, but councillors were a bit bemused to hear that this paint job now has to go to one of the design team.
Chris Black queried how long it takes the paint to dry – and was told it can dry overnight, in good weather, He urged that the ‘design’ and the actual painting be done as soon as possible while it is still summer.
Someone was painting yellow around the kerb of the entrance to rochford station car park/Freight House at 1.30am last night….
Can we try and see if something more controlled can be put in at the junction of Travellers Joy, London Road & Downhall Road. The weight of traffic really does hinder flow especially if you want to turn right from Downhall Road into London Road. How there isn’t more accidents I don’t know.
Can you confirm which junction this is as the photo is off the Carpenters Arms?
Gary – You are right , the weight of traffic at the Down Hall Road / London Road junction does hinder traffic flow . The only current proposal is from Countryside, who are are intending to put in traffic lights there if they get permission.
DM – We are talking of the northern arm of the Fairglen Interchange , the one that cones from the Carpenters Arms. The photo is of part of Fairglen.
