THE safety camera partnership claims it has placed a camera on City Walls Road because of the high amount of accidents caused by speeding cars.
Of the five accidents they refer to, only one was near the camera location and that accident was at the crossing point. The other four all happened on junctions.
Were these accidents caused by pedestrians' negligence rather than speeding?
If the safety partnership wanted to reduce accidents along City Walls Road they would have been better placing a high fence down the central reservation to stop the hordes of pedestrians who run across the road like lemmings instead of using the crossing points.
I think the safety partnership should look again and - if possible - tell us how many of the five drivers involved in those accidents were then convicted of using high speed.
