Four Watford roads could become one-way amid parked cars leading to “confrontations between angry drivers”.
If the changes went ahead, the roads, between Gammons Lane, Leavesden Road and Sussex Road, would only allow traffic in alternating directions.Ashby Road and Jubilee Road would only allow traffic towards Sussex Road while Diamond Road and Brighton Road would only permit cars to go the other way. The Labour councillor said: “For about six or seven years residents have complained about cars facing each other and traffic does sometimes get over the top.”He explained that, although some locals have called for measures to improve the flow of traffic, the consultation is still just looking to make sure there would be wider support for the system.
The letter adds: “The on-street parking narrows the roads which often results in a ‘one-way’ in either direction, especially in Brighton Road, Jubilee Road, and Diamond Road.
