TRAFFIC
Too much traffic Baywide/other
blockages exist /less delay will attract
more cars
More Park and Ride/ e.g. Ringroad,
Brixham/ Baywide policy
Cars in existing filter lane don’t and
won’t Give Way on yellow junction box
or Ringroad filter
Traffic reduction strategy/Congestion
Charge
Schemes contradict Council traffic
calming policy/e.g.Cherrybrook
40mph from Brixham increases tailback/
suggest extending 30mph limit
Brixham Car Parks Full signs before
Windy Corner
When Brixham is Full traffic comes
straight back Again to Windy
Corner/Road to nowhere
Car boot sale causes jams
Scheme will improve traffic
