Shaftesbury Square direction sign, Dublin Road, Belfast (August 2015)
Shaftesbury Square was once an important junction on the road from Belfast to Dublin via Bradbury Place J3373 : The A1 at Bradbury Place where there had been a turnpike toll house and Balmoral J3170 : Crossroads, Balmoral, Belfast where there is now a flyover J3170 : Flyover, Balmoral, Belfast. Traffic was controlled by a celebrity policeman until The Troubles caused his replacement (on safety grounds) by an equally well-known traffic warden (both often received Christmas presents from passing drivers).
Manual control has now been replaced by multiple sets of traffic lights, with various filter arrows, making the place quite simple to use.
The former Ulster Bank J3373 : The Ulster Bank (Shaftesbury Square branch), Belfast is on the right.
