It is a busy little road used by the #201 bus from Manchester which turns left by the pedestrian crossing into John Kennedy Road.
It is also used as a "rat-run" by traffic trying to avoid the queues on the A57.
Soon it will be even busier due to the Tesco superstore that is under construction close by.
The low wooden fences are there to prevent traffic straying on to the verges.
See the grass-cutters on Hyde DP Xtra.

What a beautiful neighbourhood. Thank you for the memories of home. Please have a good Friday.
ReplyDeleteit looks like those verges have had quite a beating!
ReplyDeleteThe fences looks like they were built to stop anything the guard rails did not.
ReplyDeleteThey look very sturdy!
ReplyDeleteThose fences look like they'd make a great balance beam!
ReplyDeletedefinitely a good solid fence line. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fence built with safety in mind--for walkers as well as drivers. I have a long time friend who lives near Manchester. Hear from him mostly at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteNicely composed. Fences are wonderful things. They keep neighbors out, and cars in. Thus, fences make good neighbors. Or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI like that expression 'rat run'. I can picture it.
ReplyDeletethe guard rails are a bit different than ours here! like those zig-zags in the road!
ReplyDeletegreat view. (:
ReplyDeleteThese look like they keep the pedestrians very safe. :)
ReplyDeleteI can just picture it at rush hour!
ReplyDeleteFun to see a different roadway than what we usually see here...
