Cross Road
Policeman in Cross Road this morning stopping people who had turned right from Bengeo Street.
Had 2 cars there when I came back from town at 8 am and one driver just stopped himself in time when he spotted the policeman and went straight on down the hill so I suspect he caught a lot as it is a while since they were there checking and people have got back into the habit of ignoring the signs.
No matter if you think it is right or wrong the signs are there and like all road signs should be obeyed.

I could not agree with you more Marilyn. >>No matter if you think it is right or wrong the signs are there and like all road signs should be obeyed<< But it makes a mockery of the system when the police(not on call),plus the council who make the rules & decide on the signs installed. Both drive through signs they wish to ignore if it suits them. And yes I have reported it several times and I was just meet with arrogance. But I believe like you if a rule has been decided it must apply to "everyone".

You could well be right, certainly the officer was looking all round the first car he had stopped, I assume checking tyres ec.
Hope no one gets caught turning right whilst on the phone.........I have seen it! Presumably that would be 2 fixed penalty notices at once?

yeah they check the tyres, license, tax and insurance by default now whenever you get stopped - for whatever reason!

I hope they
DO get caught turning right whilst on the phone........far too many drivers ignoring the law and making the roads dangerous for other drivers and pedestrians.
