Earlier, in town this morning I heard the noise of a siren and noticed that an ambulance coming up the pedestrianised section of High Street would soon have difficulty in getting past a couple of cars waiting at the traffic lights; the positioning of some bollards meant that there was only enough room for one vehicle at a time to pass.
Fortunately the two drivers of the cars were very alert to the situation and edged forward beyond the red lights and wedged their vehicles up against a shop window.
Of course, if this section of road hadn't undergone the ridiculous process of traffic calming there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.
