Our class recently went to Brighton's Western Road to find out about the traffic problems.

We carried out a survey and interviewed the public, asking their opinions on traffic safety.

We found 88 per cent of the public thought parking on the pavements causes problems.

We also discovered there weren't enough crossings - 72 per cent of the public agreed.

The third question we asked was: "Do people ignore the traffic signs?" We found 63 per cent did ignore the traffic signs. We think people don't care about the safety on Western Road because they ignore the traffic signs.
