The Mayoress joins me
ONCE AGAIN I am saddened by the news of another fa^al the bypass and I write to express my views in the hope that my
contribution may be of some use The first time I drove
along the bypass shortly after it was opened, I was alarmed. Had it been in
the form of a dual car riageway, it would have been fine; as a single-lane road, I forecast that it
Reckless driving— it must be curbed
THOSE readers of the “Advertiser and Times” who are regular users of the A59 Chtheroe- Whalley bypass will not have failed to notice the increased police presence. Let us hope that the recent period of surveillance will have had some effect on the disturbingly high accident
rate on the road. The a r tis t ic a lly -d e
signed handout mentioned a need for much improved driver behaviour and there is no doubt that this is essential, given the re ckless stupidity of some of the users of the bypass. I feel, however, that a
long-term improvement in road safety in the area will also depend on other
factors as well. These mainly concern the design
of the road itself. Firstly, the junction of
the Barrow link road and the bypass constitutes a major hazard as drivers attempt to join the south bound lanes of the short dual carriageway, dodging oncoming vehicles in the process. There have been acci
tional design of the Rose Cottage roundabout is an invitation for accidents to happen. There is no logi cal reason why north bound traffic should have unimpeded right of way as it attempts to merge with traffic coming from the Accrington direction. Local drivers know how to cope. Those from furth er afield are often quite
Secondly, the unconven
baffled. Finally, the reckless
dents already and there are bound to be many more. The construction of a traffic light controlled junction is essential if further accidents are to be avoided.
driving style of the minor ity of road users must be curbed for the sake of the majority. This requires constant police surveill ance and a willingness on their part to book drivers for all infringements of the law. The message will soon get around.

would be a death trap. Sadly, my predictions have turned out to be
cause of the continuous curves along its length, coupled with the impres sion that it is some sort of motorway inviting speed, overtaking is an extreme ly dangerous procedure. A driver committing
true. The fact is that, be
himself to overtaking is often deceived by the speed at which the gap closes between approach ing traffic and the overta ken vehicle and is compel led either to change his mind and pull back — or, alternatively, to acceler ate as rapidly as possible up to speeds well in excess of the legal limit in order to get through that gap, often with disastrous
results. My own golden rule is
not to overtake if I can see an approaching vehi cle and I am sure that other drivers familiar with the road have a simi
lar rule. I know that, after long
and bitter experience in dealing with road acci dents, there is often an element of human error involved. But, on the bypass, there are also dangers which may not be apparent to the casual user and which should be highlighted in some way, perhaps by a series of suitably worded warning signs. W. TAYLOR, 123 Highfield Road, Clitheroe.

find that the application had been passed on to the County Planning Depart ment without objection, with scant mention of unwanted emissions and no indication of the con cern of many inhabitants in the area about the pres ent level of noise and dust damage being done by this plant. So much for authority
