Plans to make Vicarage Lane, Kings Langley, one-way only have been scrapped after residents narrowly backed the existing layout.
Plans to make a Kings Langley road one-way have been scrapped after residents narrowly backed the existing layout.Hertfordshire County Council said the road was “especially narrow” and drivers are unable to pull to the side after meeting “head-to-head”, causing delays and damage to vehicles.
In a letter on March 18, the council revealed that 52.7 per cent of around 300 respondents preferred to keep the road open both ways, while 62.7 per cent disagreed with introducing a cycle route in the opposite direction.The plans would have kept traffic open in two directions on either end of the proposed one-way section, which residents were mostly in favour of at 80.1 per cent.
The result was met with some criticism online as one resident commented: “Well done NIMBYs, you have sentenced your neighbours on Vicarage Lane to continued daily chaos, damage to cars and dangerous crossing to save yourself from 'possible' changes to the traffic on your roads. How selfish.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
