With Luton entering its final months before the terminal and its entrance is finished the work is now more in the face of the traveling public particularly outside the terminal.

I have been having another look at the new temporary drop off zone with its 5 cul de sacs. Any passenger being picked up will need to coordinate which lane they are standing by. I also suspect most drivers will try to enter the first lane while lane 5 will remain empty. Good to see that the lanes won’t need pedestrians crossings but the design has many issues including very tight turns and vehicles having potential problems entering and leaving the lanes due to queuing traffic.

I am already thinking that this design will be worse than the existing design for potential traffic holdups and will result once again in traffic queuing past the railway station during the morning summer rush.
