| They are not a confusing remnant because it remains a functioning roundabout, not that you would know it from the behaviour of many drivers ignoring cyclists turning right coming from the West of South Parade and intending to turn onto Fisher's Lane. Buses and cyclists still use it and all road users must continue to give way where required. The give way markings with Chiswick Common Road are also still very much valid for the same reasons; 'all traffic' doesn't matter, buses and cyclists use Fishers Lane, as do cars using the parts of the road where no restrictions are in place. But of course, you know all this, and are choosing to be obtuse in yet another effort from this forum to discredit and criticise anyone but vehicle drivers. Fisher's Lane is unfit for all vehicles, not least because the underpass cannot safely accommodate traffic heading in either direction at the same time, therefore causing significant traffic tailing back in multiple directions, endangering more people while in close proximity to a primary school. It can rarely achieve two-way flow south of the junction with CCR either, and that part of the road remains open to all vehicles. The additional road markings, as this thread was opened to discuss, are clearly needed given the prevalence of drivers who illegally take their vehicles down the restricted area, either through ignorance of the many signs telling them they can't, or in a blatant disregard of the rules as the fine they pay is insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Lives, including my own, have been endangered by this behaviour, and stricter measures ought to be considered for the protection of everyone. |
