Multiple outlets report that a school principal is directing traffic at a nearby intersection after the local council removed a roundabout intended to improve pedestrian safety. The reports say the council’s change was made to make the crossing area safer, but some parents and teachers believe the removal has instead made the intersection more confusing and difficult to navigate. In response to the concern, the principal regularly takes on traffic-direction duties at peak times to manage vehicle movements and reduce risk to students and pedestrians. The outlets describe the intersection as high-traffic because it serves a school and attracts cars, buses, and pedestrians during drop-off and pick-up periods. While the council implemented the roundabout removal as a safety measure, community members argue that the updated layout is not working as intended and that motorists and pedestrians struggle to understand the new traffic flow. The reports indicate an ongoing dispute between the council’s stated safety rationale and the school community’s day-to-day observations at the site.
