From: Elizabeth Nicholson, Leeds.
I have lived in Weetwood, in North Leeds for 34 years. Leeds City Council have recently carried out works to the Otley Road Shaw Lane junction, lasting for many months. Moving at the pace of a snail, the project made Headingley become the area to avoid, fraught with significant traffic jams and long tailbacks stretching either side of the Shaw Lane junction. I haven't seen what this major work has cost the ratepayers, but I don't think they have had value for money.
There is also now a dedicated lane for cyclists, which must be a bonus for them. The main difficulty for car drivers is that the same volume of traffic is now compressed into one lane as it approaches Shaw Lane. They can't all use buses and bicycles to get to work or schools, so numbers are unlikely to change. The negative effects include longer stationary tailbacks towards the Lawnswood Roundabout, increased levels of air pollution and intensifying driver frustration.
