New traffic filter to be installed after concerns

A new traffic filter is to be introduced to improve road safety, following islander's concerns.

It is set to be sited at the junction between Les Varioufs, Rue des Huriaux and La Rue de la Corbinerie, near Les Bourgs Hospice charity shop.

The junction is expected to be closed on 12 July from 09:00 GMT, for most of the day, to allow the works to be carried out safely.

The States of Guernsey said the new filter has come about because of islander feedback about limited visibility and reports of traffic collisions at the junction.

Paul James, road safety officer at Traffic and Highway Services, said the junction "met the threshold for installing a filter", which will bring improved road safety with minimal impact on traffic.

He said: "We proactively monitor key junctions across the island to see what improvements can be made and then take appropriate action.

"Improving road safety for all road users continues to be one of our top priorities."
