In this extended drone video, you can now clearly see how the residents of Jardin Del Mar will no longer be able to access or egress the urbanisation as before, only being able to turn right, then having to double back at a roundabout, and unable to turn left into the estate from the auditorium direction.

You can also see the road laid out in preparation for parking outside the commercial centres, including the new DIY store, near the Hiberber end. You can also play a game and ask yourself “why on earth is that like that” over some elements, like the seemingly unnecessary double roundabout at the commercial centre plot, and why traffic will be directed onto the road for a very short run, a road which ,as anyone who uses it regularly will testify, gets so buy at times it will be near impossible to exit by that route.

There are also other features you might spot, but we will not spoil it for you, you can just sit back and marvel at the development. You could also wonder where the houses are, or perhaps that´s just us.

Anyway, as roads go, it looks nice, just not as practical as we might think, but what do we know? We are not road designers or urban developers, so they must know better, and we accept that.
