Crossing Town from East to West

Officially speaking there are only two options: either brave the busy coast road or the dangerous roundabouts to the north. The coast road is the safer of the two, but the following is much nicer.

You can turn right from Union Place into Chapel Road if you are careful. Either ignore the no-right-turn sign, or turn left and then U-turn around the central reservation. Note that buses overhang the central reservation when they turn left here!

You can, with some care (and only if there is little traffic), turn right from North Street into Ashdown Road. There is a lowered gap in the central reservation. Officially you should dismount to become a pedestrian to do this. It's safest to pull in on the left and wait for a gap in the traffic before crossing.
