February 6, 2021July 3, 2022 Dom

The Princess Road roundabout is one of number of large busy junctions on Manchester’s inner ring road. Since it was built as part of the Mancunian Way in the 1967, somewhat unsurprisingly, it’s been dominated by motor traffic. It has also had a poor safety record, which has included the sad death of Jaye Bloomfield in 2014, who was killed by a speeding driver while she was cycling across one of the slip roads.
