Anger over dangerous Leeds road 'like the surface of the moon' that desperately needs fixing

A “dangerous” west Leeds road likened to the moon’s surface needs to be urgently fixed before a serious accident happens, councillors have insisted.

The layout of Stanningley Bottom has been heavily criticised since city highways chiefs redesigned the area in 2016. Two European-style “roundels” – unmarked circular junctions where drivers are encouraged to slow down and give way – now operate in the area.

The council claims the revamp has reduced collisions and speeding by forcing drivers to slow down. But critics say drivers and cyclists are simply confused by the layout and fear a serious accident if changes aren’t made.
