Watch out! Lancaster Council wants to stop you committing ‘dangerous manoeuvres’ at Aldi

Lancaster City Council is aiming to improve road safety around the city, especially in popular student areas such as Morecambe Road Aldi, reports the Lancaster Guardian.

Its “initiative” would equip the council with the ability to stop drivers from committing “dangerous manoeuvres” around the one-way system by using automatic license plate recognition technology.

The aim is to reduce the number of accidents as well as reduce congestion, which many students are affected by when traveling to and from campus at rush-hour times.

The change hopes to take place across Lancashire, with the Morecambe Road area around Aldi being one of the first areas on the list. This would benefit many Lancaster students’ food shops at the Aldi very close to the junction.

A county spokesperson told the Lancaster Guardian: “We receive regular complaints about traffic turning right out of the junction, this requires vehicles to come into conflict with traffic that may be queuing to enter the junction on the right turn lane.
