I visited shortly before the fatal crash, and had 2 potentially serious close calls. First the coach pulling out from the press centre exit on my right for which it was prudent to stop, as the driver certainly was not, and the at the dangerously confusing rebuilt junction including the 'new 180 degree full lock left turn' where the bus-cycle fatal crash took place. <br /><br />Here I kept moving with that sudden realisation of a what the F*** moment as a coach turned right on to the A12/M11 slip road as if I hadn't been riding across the junction (on a green light) directly in the driver's path.<br /><br />So sad that those idiots want to wreck the area with through roads is there no local opposition?
