"Safer roads ?? " No not at all

Do the Planning and Redevelopment Designers who plan/design/re-route our roads,( providing efficient access to commercial/industrial areas/ Retail parks etc,)- for multi-wheeled and heavy goods traffic-, really understand how their re-routing and traffic densities bear on the safety of local inhabitants - adults, teenagers, mothers and toddlers, walkers with pets, the elderly or infirmed, and the non commercial cars being driven to and from work.
These two images wewre taken within minutes of each other on Monday afternoon - the 15th - during the afternoon School leaving on Monday 15/09 . It illustrate precisely the problem - Heavy goods vehicles and Emergency Services continually use this road at most time. This was a rare "quiet" interlude, during the
daylight summer period not the dark winter day hours !!!!

"What is the problem ?" I can already hear their comment.. .. I suggest THEY stand on the pavements and central reservations whilst these and other vehicles thunder by - for even with vehicles travelling at or around 30 mph create a "SUCTION on PEDESTRIANS" which is concerning, threatening and dangerous.

WILL IT TAKE A FATALITY to DRIVE the message home?
