I HAVE had discussions with other motorists who have been to the Reebok retail park since the alterations to the road lanes west-bound, ie the roundabout to the Parklands business park.

I, along with everyone I have spoken to, cannot believe the reasoning behind these lanes.

The new turn "left only" lane, which throws everyone off guard, is probably only used for an hour a day at the most, and probably only carries about five per cent of all traffic using Mansel Way.

I personally have seen five near misses.

We all think it's another stupid road design from Bolton Highways.
