Could do with double yellow lines at the beginning of Ings way. All around the curve and either side at all the junctions.
You are not the only one expecting body bags on Ings wway one day. |

what amazes me is the speed people travel along Ingsway, then the shambles of parked cars (and a rusty old pickup truck) near Howden Road junction. A huge lorry has even started parking with 2 sets of wheels on the pavement there! Someone will be hurt, I'm afraid. But nothing will happen to prevent it all. |

Just shows that they have passed their test, but still not learnt how to drive. |

I have to cross at the junction with Ingsway and Howden Road, and this means coming out from behind this parked vehicle. As I am in a wheelchair it is very dangerous and I can only inch out very slowly. I have tried going up Craven Drive instead, but because of cars parked on pavements I am alternating between driving on the road and on the pavement. |

I avoid that junction during "busier" times, I have had a lot less problems going up Howden Road instead, especially from "larger" vehicles maneuvering around parked cars on Ingsway! It is near impossible to see pedestrians around that truck and other larger vehicles which stop there, doesn't help they are as close to the corner as they can get!
The rest of Ingsway is no better, one old guy on the corner near the memorial had his door wide open, I cautiously crept round (was going to punch horn but saw the stick).
I see a lot of MPV's going quite quickly on Ingsway, I've also seen kids run out after balls! Shouldn't parents know better? |

Ha, I had a guy try to make me squeeze past him comming into Ingsway off of Howden Road saying "you can fit through that gap at the side". As I was starting to pass the cars (on the other side of the road) he raced up, past a gap in the parked cars and came nose to nose with my car. He positioned himself as close to the parked car as he could and tried to refuse to reverse into the gap behind allowing me and others behind to pass easily and safely. |

Very dangerous at the Howden Road and Ingsway junction. Also at the end of Jennings Close where some muppet parks his 4x4 on the whole pavement instead of his drive!! How are pedestrians suppose to pass?? |
