St Asaph Avenue has suddenly become a dangerous place for all road users and pedestrians. The introduction of the change of priority by merely placing a painted island in the middle of the road is going to cause chaos unless changed back to what it was.

There is a well respected format in road priority that periphial minor roads give way to major thoroughfares and this will remain so instinctively to all drivers whether familiar with the previous layout or using it for the first time.

Accidents are already happening and are bound to continue to happen, all caused at the instigation of the Road Engineers, who have a remarkable record over the last few years of narrowing the bridges to a dangerous degree, altering the traffic lights in Kinmel Bay with filters which do nothing to improve the flow of traffic or the safety of pedestrians.

Boy racers are still permitted to race through the service roads to avoid the lights instead of blocking these lane off.

The whole thing has the hallmark of an EU Directive, instigated from afar and against the direct wishes of those who have to use it. The elected councillors, instead of kow-towing to the council officers should tell then to sort it out before the No Win No Fee claims against the council start flooding in.

Perhaps it could be clarified as to whether we are allowed to drive straight over the islands as all the large vehicles, lorries and buses have to do, since weaving around them looks ridiculous and pointless, causing other drivers to wonder if you are turning off or not, and creating the possibility in places of running into a vehicle at the entrance to the side roads.

Unless unwelcome, and costly, major structural changes to the road layout is carried out to highlight the introduction of the islands people are going to get hurt and this will be the fault of the Council Offices, not the road users.

This new traffic system creates a dangerous driving situation. Put it back as it was
