Senior civil servant at Department for Infrastructure explains reason cars can't turn left anymore
A sudden change in road rules at a busy Belfast junction with rush-hour gridlock is down to "pedestrian safety" following the opening of the new transport hub.
"When the previous station was there, most people came out through the Great Northern Mall in the middle of Great Victoria Street, and now we’re seeing pedestrians, reasonably enough, exiting the station and coming down Grosvenor Road," he said. Mr Woods said the decision would be kept under review as he urged people to access the Westlink via "other routes".
