Recently a cyclist was knocked off here while trying to turn right out of Constantine Road . The car driver took the corner without obeying the white line markers. Needs hard infrastructure changes .

Waterfront development
According to the Evening Star a developer has purchased the wine rack.
The proposal involves calling for a multi storey car park although the developer also acknowledges the very high traffic volumes on the Star Lane gyratory.
To make it more appealing for people to access the Waterfront from the town centre he proposes an elevated pedestrian walkway.

Spring Road traffic jams lead to rat running in Bartholomew Street and Alexandra Rd
When traffic backs up on Spring Road from the Grove Lane lights motor vehicles cut through via Bartholomew Street, Alexandra Rd, Warwick and Lancaster Roads to Palmerston and then onto St Helens.
They travel fast and a group of five or more motor vehicle drivers copying each other is not unusual, at peak times.
To protect the residents of these narrow streets, filtered permeability would seem to be the only answer. -
Traffic lights not sensing cyclists

Kings Avenue/Milner Street rat run.
Motorised vehicles currently use the rat run through Milner Street to avoid the fraffic lights at Grove Lane/ St Helens St.
This is part of NCN 41 , any extra traffic passing through here detracts from the cycling experience and is negative for residents.
Cyclist comments are needed now ! -
Tesco development Grafton Way/Star Lane/Greyfriars/Stoke bridge/Nicholas Street
Total re-design of this important junction.
Very complicated junction with 4 routes entering/leaving .
Covers very large area.
Proposal is for one large oval to replace existing double roundabout.
The junction has an existing reported and unreported high level of vehicle/cyclist crash.
An ideal opportunity for Ipswich to have a radical design which protects the more vulnerable road users ?
