Use of our street as a short cut.

Would the residents be happy if there was say a set of bollards at the midpoint to allow them access in/out from only one end of the road? This would require some new 'NO THROUGH ROAD' signs but it would stop all of the current 'through' traffic and debate about 'ACCESS ONLY'.

In the above, I assume that there is vehicular access for the residents to their own properties.

See my previous post.

They simply can't turn around the car or reverse back out. The neighbour over the road has a C class and there plenty of battle scars on it, she even managed to nearly take out our wall at one point. They definately wouldnt support having one end blocked. I think a collapseable bollard would be the best solution as it would leave both ends accessable.

The shop is on an adjoining road at the junction with the main road. Personally I practice what I preach if I've been to the shop. We have vehicular access at both the front and rear from different directions and I will only travel down the Way if I'm parking at the front, otherwise I drive round the estate to park at the back. The only other 2 houses that currently have cars at the front are those that have no other access, so regardless of where they've been or what the direction they approach form they have to drive up/down the Way to get to their house.

A bollard like this - http://www.bollards.co.uk/categories...FYEKfAodaB86Zw - either at each end or one in the middle is the ideal solution.
