Motorists must slow down for walkers

2:20pm Saturday 23rd June 2012 in Letters

Can I appeal to the drivers who have been diverted from Gorsty Hill to Mucklow Hill and left on to Long Lane to please slow down for pedestrians.

Ninety per cent of the time it is impossible to cross the road at the junction of Greenhill Road as there is no break in the traffic both ways.

I am now having to cross halfway (with traffic flowing behind and in front of me) and then hope someone will let me through.

During which time, I get some irate drivers sounding their horns.

I have been in touch with Dudley Council’s road safety department but have not had any response yet.

With respect, you should use the pedestrian crossing by the Mosque, or the one by Streetbike if you're at the top of Greenhill Road. You're trying to cross the road at a place where it shouldn't be crossed and presenting a unneccesary hazard to traffic.

I agree with Villa-moose, there is a light controlled crossing in Long Lane, why not use that?
