Travellers along the A625 Hathersage Road bordering Blacka will know that the Highways people have been repairing the wall at Piper House. This wall is regularly punctured by holes caused by collisions, and speeding traffic unable to negotiate the bend, and the bus stop here is often to be found deposited over the wall several metres away. The new wall will doubtless be much sturdier and resist these impacts. What will be interesting is the effect on the cars . They will perhaps bounce back into the carriageway in the path of oncoming vehicles.
Blacka Blogger has a better idea. Since the temporary traffic lights have been here with some half mile of 30 mph signs installed, this whole section of road has been calmer and much more civilised to travel along. The intelligent solution is to just leave it like this. It will not be liked among the hyperactive adolescents who seem to make up the majority of the driving public these days, but it will probably mean a few more spare beds in the A&E departments.
