    The police station does not help that harry, it really should be a slip road rather than an “exit” I think that confuses people as well

    Most bad driving hotspots are usually signposted and directions given. I thought that people had to prove a level of compedancy when behind the wheel, it’s called a driving test !!!!!
    Most days on the road I see useless drivers making stupid or even dangerous driving antics.
    Before people all jump on the boy racers ( of which I do not condone ! ), the worst criminal against the use of bad techniques are the elderly . Sorry, but I wish I had a quid for everything an older person cut me up on a roundabout, Carpark, they don’t discriminate.
    Bad drivers are solely to blame for creating bad driving hotspots !!!

    some of the worst drivers i encounter dont seem to be boy racers at all, rather men in their 40’s

    When will ALL drivers in Wrexham learn the need to use their indicators ?

    Just sheer laziness. Doesn’t happen to same degree in other towns.

    I’ve noticed an increase in taxi’s jumping red lights and beating drivers onto roundabouts lately. These people are supposed to be ‘professional’ drivers? Please!

    In my humble opinion the road planners in this town are at fault. This isn’t a big city and they plan the roads as if it were. The Mold Road by the Post Office is a case in point.
    You have an unnecessary one way system there. How can anybody expect strangers to the town find their way around? I saw a car going in the wrong direction by the Lager Club.

    If we had the traffic of a big city Wrexham really would be in trouble with the current road system!

    I was parked on Brook street one day and a woman stopped by me and asked for directions to Nightingale house. I said ” Up the road, turn right, over the bridge, go left into the gyratory system, filter right, then filter left, turn left……” Then I noticed her eyes glazing over with confusion.
    I said “Follow me”

    The filtering systems do appear to confuse some, outside the lager club is the prime example!

    A big sign saying ‘merge does not mean stop’ could help – the number of people stopped on Mold Rd waiting for a gap while the right hand lane is empty is huge!

    The right turn filter on the road to Marchwiel right outside the Green Dragon in Hightown has been a preal ain for years. It only works every other change, god knows why.

    Traffic coming into town continually come through on red leaving little time to turn right.

    Several council? surveys have been there but it’s still pretty dangerous, still noone killed there I suppose !
