The County Council today approved plans to make Great Western Cross a much safer junction for pedestrians while improving traffic flows.  The plans include putting new pedestrian crossings on each of the roads at the junction and banning some turns so that the crossings can operate while the traffic flows smoothly in other directions.  Advanced computer control and new traffic lights will ensure that both the traffic flows smoothly and pedestrians can cross safely.  Concerns were raised that as part of these changes that it would encourage more traffic to use Victoria Road but a separate order is now being raised to can entry except for access to Victoria Road, Westover Road, St Helens Road and part of Albert Road.  Work is scheduled to being in January 2017.
