There was another major accident at the Cole Avenue lights this Bank Holiday Monday. From what I could gather as I was stuck in all the traffic moments after it had happened it looked like either the lights had failed for some reason or one of the cars had run a red light. The accidents that have occurred at these lights over the past few months have been horrendous. Please everybody be careful when driving through the lights. Don't just assume that the traffic lights are correct use your eyes and look around for danger! Fortunately there doesn't seem to have been any serious injuries here YET!! But please keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you!

    This is getting beyond a joke - Someone in the County council really needs to take some responsibility, either the procurement has been messed up, or the installation has been incorrect. You would think that putting in some traffic lights should be "bread and butter" work for a Highways Department but it seems sheer incompetence as far as this junction is concerned. I would really like some assurance that this problem is being rectified as it is putting our lives at serious risk. I do not want to read or hear of any really serious injury or death because of repeated incompetence.

    I agree I would have that these numerous crashes would be a warning that something is obviously wrong and that something needs to be done before there is a fatality. They are ignoring these warnings and I am worried that it is going to take a very serious crash with great injury before something is done. At the junction at this very moment there is the front bumper complete with registration plate and everything stuck to the railings as you go straight out of Quedgeley up Cole Avenue. That is a very scary sight to see and just goes to show how dangerous this junction can be.
