New safety measures coming to Scotia Road including zebra crossings and double-yellow lines to improve safety.
Changes are coming to Scotia Road. A zebra crossing will go near Lidl, by Dimensions too. Double-yellow lines are also planned for Federation Road and Marshall Street. The crossing near Dimensions will get an upgrade.
Locals are happy about the new safety measures. Karen Wootton said it took too long and that accidents happen often on this road. She thinks it will slow drivers down and hopes it will stop all crashes. They wanted a zebra crossing for a while because a nearby house got hit three times. She said it is like a race track at night.
David and Lesley Clucas are also happy, glad the council is doing something. David Clucas hopes it slows traffic down and wishes for speed cameras that work. He is happy the council will help.
Lesley Clucas sees people speeding often and she wants the crossing built soon. It would make a big difference. Maria Ciocan thinks it will be safer, especially for her son who crosses there to play football.
She thinks this will help him, as she knows the road is dangerous. It should make the road safer. The council plans to do the work this year.
Finlay Gordon-McCusker talked about planned work. The crossing by Dimensions will be upgraded first. Next, a zebra crossing will go by Lidl, near Federation Road too. He said the changes make travel safer, especially for people walking. The council is making the city safer and they want it easier to travel around.
