Castel junction still too dangerous

FURTHER measures are needed at a dangerous road junction in the Castel, a resident has claimed.

Despite the Environment Department lowering a wall at the intersection of Route du Tertre and Rue des Queritez, Jean Duquemin fears that not enough has been done.

Mrs Duquemin, who has lived in Route du Tertre all her life, said motorists needed to cut their speed in order to minimise accidents.
‘We need speed bumps or perhaps some sort of filter system at the bottom of the road,’ she said. She had seen many crashes at the junction.
‘My husband had to help somebody a little while ago when they had their foot run over. You really do take your life into your own hands when you step out of your house and onto the road.’ (thisisguernsey)

More humps... More filters ... More misery...

She ought to try crossing at the bottom of guelle road!

I agree Kat, but it will take a death for anything to get done at that location.

Pete, all due respect mate, doubt anything would get done even after a death. Sad fact of life in Guernsey.

Prospective Government Officials all smiles and promises in the months preceding elections, then all of a sudden.. SILENCE for 4 years. Hmmmmmm I wonder why?? (not a dig at you mate, maybe our current clan?)

If they put in speeds humps motorist moan .if they put in traffic light motorist moan ,if they put in a zebra motorist moan........get the picture?

Fine, as a motorist i may say to mrs... wtf they up to here?? but after a week or so, i wouldnt really care. long as its in the interest of road safety and not some rich idiots say so... 'Oh they go too fast past my house and scare the chickens.. heres £500,000 go put me some bumps in. I know Ronez will do it and need 15 staff ,road safety and all that , to do 3 hours work in 4 days'
