There are two T-junctions here close together, with a set of traffic lights in between to allow pedestrians to cross. The Kings road side of Barton road is always full of parked cars and frequently vans/trucks, and the road is curved slightly. Therefore someone turning right out of King's Road frequently finds themselves unsighted, and is also hard to see for traffic coming from either direction. In addition cyclists coming from the King's Road direction frequently use the pedestrian crossing to make it easier for them to 'turn right' onto either Barton road or the cycle path along the side of Barton road, this leads to the following observed behaviours:
These elements - a terrible road layout; a straight, wide road with no speed cameras; badly parked cars; and incautious cyclists combine to make this junction far more dangerous than it should be.
Barton Road has a speed camera not far from there. -- TI
Yes, but its sufficiently far away most drivers have accelerated back up to about 40mph by this stage. --Gwyntar
