00:00
Yeah. Any particular bottlenecks you can think of?
00:03
Hermiston Gate. Why's that?
00:05
Because it's just like one way system. Too many junctions.
00:09
Too many junctions to go on and out of. He's the same as me, he stays doing that way and all.
00:15
But there's just too many different roads can't you get into the place and that, it's...
00:20
I know.
00:20
Up the road there, Kingsnow.
00:22
Kingsnow?
00:22
Come out the golf course.
00:23
Oh, at the top, at the junction, where the train is?
00:26
Yeah.
00:27
Why's that?
00:28
Well, you can't even see it rightly, for the cars coming up.
00:31
Mm.
00:32
You've got to really put the car out. Because of these, what do you call them?
00:40
I don't know, they've got the roads for the cycle lanes and that.
00:43
They push the...
00:44
People, places, courses.
00:45
They push the parking lots out.
00:46
Ah, that's a nice day.
00:48
It's a bit awkward, yeah.
00:49
Do you think it's dangerous?
00:50
Yeah, it is dangerous.
00:52
Top of Man's Road on St John's Road.
00:54
Oh aye, I know what you mean, yeah. Why do you think it's the worst?
00:57
It's just, it's spreading traffic in an unnecessary way.
01:01
Accident waiting to happen?
01:02
Without a doubt. Without a doubt.
01:04
Eh, Calder Road.
01:06
Why's that?
01:06
Roundabout.
01:07
Why's that?
01:08
Because there's traffic lights in it, and it stops everything.
01:12
And then, rush hour, you can't get moving.
01:15
It's just a bottleneck.
01:16
Yeah.
