Ironic, the large word FAST on the side of the ambulance.
Traffic indeed needs to go slower on that road. Improvements similar to those in the western section need to be made there, and this would also mean that areas to the north of the road do not appear as cut off from Poets’ Corner (which isd in fact a few minutes’ walk from the lower part of Hangleton).
That should of course be “eastern section”.
