This graphic (top) is from Brighton and Hove City Council’s document on the Seven Dials scheme, and provides a neat summary of at least five things that need to be fixed. The following diagram of pedestrian movements at the junction comes from the same source. Great to see that people on foot are, at long last, being accorded some priority in these kinds of decisions – but I do wonder about those traces that go right through the middle of the roundabout!
Not owning a car is a great way to stay fit, save money, and avoid loads of hassle. This is a blog with thoughts, photos, ideas and links about carfree life: walking, active travel, public transport, places and spaces - things that matter to everyone, but even more when you don’t own a car. Photos are by me unless credited. Forthcoming: book on carfree life. Meantime, get in touch via email at carfreelifeoutsidethebox@gmail.com or Twitter @carfreebrighton
