Lordship Lane - Speeding. There is quite rightly much debate about speeding on Barry Road. The problem also applies to Lordship Lane - from the Barry Road Junction to the Townley Road Junction. This is a rather long and straight stretch of the Lane and sits on a steep incline and which seems to act as an inducement for drivers (both private and commercial) going up or down the Lane, to practise their speed driving skills. The problem is not helped by the sloping of the Lane, (both up and down the Lane)which shortens the line of sight significantly for pedestrians and traffic using road. There are the usual 20mph speed restrictions in place but other than that no other inducements for drivers to moderate their speed to an reasonable level on this stretch of the Lane. It is not a race track. It is becoming increasingly difficult for local residents including parents and their schoolchildren to manipulate their way around or through this increasingly fast moving traffic. How about some pedestrian crossings/lights at least ?
