It became a one way street more than six months ago, and police are putting on extra patrols to warn motorists
But some residents called for the signs to be illuminated at night, with one commenting: “Maybe they need to look at what is causing people to use this shortcut and try fix it? That roundabout is ridiculous at rush hour.”statement issued on Facebook
, the Leeds North West Neighbourhood Policing Team said: “It's been six months since Manor Road, Horsforth became a one way street. This morning officers stopped by for just 15 minutes, and in that time, spoke to five drivers who were about to drive straight through. "Officers also attended here earlier this month issuing penalty notices to drivers. Driving without due care and attention can incur a £100 fine and 3 penalty points. Alternatively a fine for contravening signs like this is £50.“Our advice.....don't chance it for the sake of a few minutes gained as there will be further patrols. Like today, you may lose those minutes speaking to us, or worse, cause a collision.
