THE Southampton to Totton cycle route crosses the busy docks access road, First Avenue, at Millbrook Roundabout.

Works on the roundabout some years ago increased the number of lanes leaving the docks to three, and also enabled traffic to leave the roundabout at higher speeds.

This has made crossing First Avenue daunting, especially in winter rush hour, when you have to wait until three courteous lorry drivers all with excellent eyesight allow you to cross the three lanes individually.

I welcome any measure that will enable pedestrians and cyclists to use the public highway here without fearing for their lives.
