MOTORISTS will be prevented from turning right at an ‘extremely difficult’ junction after numerous reports of vehicles scraping walls and getting stuck.
Barnsley Council approved a traffic order banning right turns out of Grove Street on to Bank End Road in Worsbrough, in a move aimed at tackling the ongoing issue of vehicles getting stuck at the junction, which required vehicles to turn at a 335-degree angle.
A report to the cabinet states that the angle between the roads and the difference in gradient makes the left-turn manoeuvre ‘extremely difficult’.
It adds that many vehicles are becoming stuck, either on the wall between Bank End Road and Grove Street or are striking the wall to the south side of Grove Street.
The same problem has also occurred due to vehicles turning right out of Grove Street, to travel east on Bank End Road, a council report added.
