• Temporary traffic lights at Orchard Avenue junction have not been timed correctly. The pedestrian sequence is too short and turns on immediately as the red light for preceding sequence comes on, yet vehicles are still turning at this point and there is not enough time for pedestrians to safely cross the road. There is also no safe method of crossing from Bairstow eve corner across Orchard Avenue as there is no pedestrian push button at this location. There is also no audible indication that it is safe for pedestrians to cross. The current temporary traffic lights arrangement is unsafe for pedestrians.
