Plans are underway to ease the issues caused by HGVs turning down a main route through Carnforth.
There’s an ongoing problem regarding long vehicles turning into Market Street from the A6, and there have been numerous occasions where the barrier that protects the traffic light control box has been crushed, and additional damage to the traffic light pole itself caused.
Now, with concern growing, the Town Council has worked with Lancashire County Council to find a solution.
Spokesperson Bob Bailey says: ‘’As residents are aware, there is limited space at the junction to introduce wholesale changes and after considering several options the County Council is proposing to re-site the ‘stop-line’ at the traffic lights exiting lower Market Street.
‘’The line will be moved back towards Carnforth Book Shop, which will provide a greater turning circle for long vehicles.
‘’The impact on vehicles using Walmsley Street will be carefully monitored once the work is completed. We expect that this work will be completed before the summer, along with some re-lining work on Market Street.’’
If you have any questions regarding this planned work the please contact Carnforth Town Council in the first instance.
