Nutfield - You are correct in saying that the bend will be "smoothed out" as part of the works. But speeding here is surely not a major concern - the road will still form a bend and two sets of speed cushions plus a raised carriageway will be installed at this point.
Thanks for the info nasaroc. But I am not so sure about your analysis. Imagine boy racer...comes off the speed humps by the underpass, then a gentle bend and no speed restrictions right down the gentle slope all the way to the Mayow Road roundabout. Perry Vale already suffers from speeding (not up by the station more on the long straight bit), and I cannot see these changes improving the situation.
(to be accurate, there is also a speed 'ramp' outside the primary school - but it doesn't seem to slow anybody down!)
