I find it unbelievable that there are no lights at the Copers Cope Road corner or at the Park Road intersection despite there being frequent accidents and near misses and yet there are lights where there isn't even an intersection so that drivers can turn into Waitrose more easily!
Surely there could be a turning lane there and then the lights should be relocated to the Copers Cope Road intersection.
