'You were taking your life in your hands just to cross the road.'
An Easterhouse road is to get new traffic lights to make it safer for people to cross after a number of people have been hit by cars.
Councillor Maureen Burke, Labour, said: “Although there has not been a fatality there has been quite a few people hit by cars.” Explaining how surveys had taken place to look at the issues, a council officer said: “Our observations did confirm that we think a crossing would be beneficial here. We noted a number of vulnerable pedestrians, elderly and young pedestrians.
Explaining that a puffin crossing would not be suitable, he added: “We thought it would be better to signalise the junction of Lochend Road at Westerhouse Road. That would allow full crossing facilities for Lochend Road and Westerhouse Road. You have better facilities for all. It would also help to slow traffic down considerably in the area.”
