Firstly, my condolences to both families involved.

I don't however agree with traffic lights. This was an accident caused by the actions of individuals. It most certainly would have been avoided by those two cars driving sensibly.

I'm much rather see a speed camera on that stretch of road to deter excess speeding. I'd also suggest stopping drivers turning right at the bottom of Barton Road as there are alternatives that are not far away with traffic lights that drivers can use.

Both these suggestions would firstly reduce the speed of cars on that stretch of road and secondly stop cars from crossing a lane of traffic and attempting to enter traffic that is already moving.
