CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - James (16th Oct 2017 - 17:15:25) As far as I am aware, unless they have changed the Highway Code,I thought it was illegal to reverse onto a main road? It is about time someone did something about this before there is a serious accident? If you can reverse, then please reverse into the spaces out the front, this also makes it a lot easier to pull out when you leave!!!!

Re: CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - B Road (16th Oct 2017 - 19:12:49) Headley Road is a B road.

Re: CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - James (16th Oct 2017 - 20:39:17) That’s ok then

Re: CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - b road (17th Oct 2017 - 09:16:55) Doesn't make it illegal as per your sweeping claim. Also if you're obeying the speed limit and paying attention to the road whilst driving it's not a problem. At the busiest times of day you'll be lucky to be moving faster than a crawl anyway through Liphook's delightful traffic. Been a shop there with parking out front for decades - no major incidents that I know of!

Re: CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - P Weyland (17th Oct 2017 - 12:26:52) www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/using-the-road-reversing doesn't state that a 'main road' cannot be a 'B' road. The Headley Road is sufficiently busy enough to be a major hazard when reversing onto. Couple that together with the fact the Co-op has a free car park and also the car driver has the (much safer) option to reverse into a car space along the main frontage. Reversing out onto the B3004 presents an unnecessary risk.

Re: CO-OP HEADLEY ROAD - Jay W (18th Oct 2017 - 20:57:30) Legal or not, it would probably be safer for the pedestrians on the pavement if the cars reversed in rather than out. The delivery drivers manage it - despite the dodgy dump and run parking in the main car park.
