A major junction in Nottingham has been branded 'dangerous' by people who are worried about accidents there. Residents and workers near the junctions of B682 Nottingham Road and A6514 Valley Road in Basford have said traffic in the area is 'ridiculous', and that only 'two or three' cars at a time can turn right onto Valley Road, causing congestion.
Nottinghamshire Live saw traffic build in the area from 8.30am on Wednesday (May 11) morning, and noticed that, indeed, only two or three cars could turn onto Valley Road at a time, with motorists having to wait for the lights to change. But when they could finally move, traffic coming down Valley Road could be seen travelling towards the right turners at speed before they were able to complete the manoeuvre.
We also noticed a similar trend further down Valley Road, with only two or three cars managing to turn right from Radford Road onto the dual carriageway before the lights changed in a similar pattern. And workers and residents in the area are concerned the light sequences and build up of traffic could cause accidents in the future.
