Junction of Hanover Street and Gradwell Street is confusing #4

The junction of Hanover Street and Gradwell Street is confusing for motorists and pedestrians alike. A (mini) roundabout at this point seems like it would make most sense as it would hopefully force people to make more explicit decisions.

I agree! Anyone have a photo of it? If so attach it here!

You can see the junction, and an example of the problem on Google Street View

I had a chat with someone at the council about this recently, as he'd seen the list and wondered if it was something that could easily be fixed.

Turns out it'd cost ~£150k to fix, which I think makes it probably a "won't fix" issue. At least until someone is doing some other work on that junction?

Is there an easy way to encode lat/lon into a label, without spawning a billion labels as things get reported? I'm just wondering if there's a way to capture where this problem was reported so someone in the future could query the issue list and find all the things for an area? Would a "geo" label, plus a comment containing some GeoJSON or something work...?

Found GEO:53.40324;-2.98414 on http://microformats.org/wiki/geo which might do, I don't appear to be able to add labels to this issue though.

I think, now you're a member of the "organisation" that you should be able to add labels, etc. Let me know if you can't, and I'll fiddle with the settings some more.

I've not been down this end in a while but I'm glad to notice a change has been made, but obviously whoever found this issue and resolved it didn't agree with me that a roundabout would be a better option as they've simply made Hanover Street the through road.
