*driving the wrong way up one-way streetsThe junction leading from Aldi supermarket to Morecambe Road dictates that motorists can only turn left. Photo: Google Street View.Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology will be used to identify drivers.
A six week consultation was held for road users and pedestrians to share their feedback on the plans, which ran until Sunday, November 27.Road signage for motorists leaving the Aldi supermarket slip-road onto Lancaster Road dictates that drivers cannot turn right and head into Lancaster. "We receive regular complaints about traffic turning right out of the junction,” a county council spokesman said."The junction has been designed to encourage the left turn only and abuse increases the risk of accidents on this busy stretch of road.County Councillor Charlie Edwards, cabinet member for highways and transport, said:"I carefully read through the respondents' comments and I am pleased to see that the majority of these support what we hope to achieve.
"We will issue first-offence drivers a warning letter to ensure that people understand the scheme, which is very much focused on putting safety first, as well as dealing with traffic delays."We are hoping that if this initiative is successful, it could be rolled out at other locations across the county which suffer from a poor safety record. Any additional sites would each undertake the same consultation process before it was rolled out to them in the future.
