I TOTALLY agree with Peter Clarke’s letter of March 19. The junction at Grimston Bar travelling out on the A1079 is now going to see a proliferation of accidents and altercations as the traffic tries to squeeze into one lane. It is absolute madness.

Travelling this route home from work every night, I cannot see what advantage the short additional lane provides in keeping traffic moving safely.

In fact the opposite is true and the layout can only have been designed by someone who will never have to traverse it at peak times.

Given the time this has taken to construct it will not have been cheap; what a waste of our money.
