I take it we’ve all noticed that this incisive and in-depth report by
road.cc totally fails to give any mention whatsoever to what must have been
alleged to have been amiss with this junction to warrant the resulting
consumption of scarce resources, leading to the suspicion that it is a
useless but virtue-signalling exercise.

Good job you didn't live through the Hull floods in 2007 where ten thousand people were living in caravans in their gardens for 18 months - get a grip, you lemons.

Apples and oranges again…

You’re comparing a natural disaster with a man-made one.

I take it you can work out which is which?

One of these at every junction please. And it's about time we modernised our streets and actually dedicated some space to the quickest, most efficient and least harmful mode of transport we have. The Bike. Though we should introduce a motoring tax to pay for this modernisation!

Typical cyclist! Wants others to pay so their demands, no matter how
unreasonable or ineffective they might be.

The only ones who are capable of understanding risks are those mature
enough to appreciate them.

So small children?

No.

Or thicko chav-cyclists like you?

No.

Don't underestimate the damage done by the 'Ull floods of 2007, Spike.

Thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused.

Possibly as many as ten thousand pounds.
