Following a recent request of mine I can now confirm that an order is to be placed with Transport for Greater Manchester for audible signals to be introduced at the above junction.

Hopefully this will make life easier for the blind or partially sighted members of our community.

It has been possible to fund the installation along with other cycle improvements proposed for the junction and the Council is currently working with Transport for Greater Manchester to establish a timescale for completing the work.

The cycle improvement works at the junction include the provision of advanced cycle stop lines and ‘trixi’ mirrors attached to the signal heads, which will enable HGV drivers to see cyclists’ waiting at the junction.

The advanced stop lines and mirrors will make the routes safer for cyclists where there are significant HGV movements.
