Suggested improvement, 4th March

54.275712 -2.763148

It would be a good improvement to make the left slip road continue onto the a590 westbound without a giveway. The traffic coming round the roundabout is already fed to the 2nd lane and there doesn't seem a need to pause the cars turning left coming from the m6.

Very Dangerous road surface for Cyclists, 15th January

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 18:14:31 +0000
54.271575 -2.756655

The stretch of road between the bridge and junction of back lane has been filled in so many times and then deteriorated it is now just one giant pothole. I cycle to work along this route (it’s the only safe way out of Kendal) and I have to ride on the wrong side of the road to avoid the uneven road surface so I can turn right onto back lane. It’s been this way for at least 7 years.

Black spot for dear collisions. 2 carcasses last November. At least 6 as of August 10th 2023 seen that feed regularly on the bypass embankment. I have informed Levens Hall Deer Park as well. My concern is the rutting season is nearly on us and they will be more active.

Worn and faded give way lines at Brettargh Holt roundabout on joining west bound A590, 19th April

Wed, 19 Apr 2023 16:48:45 +0100
54.275739 -2.762604

I have seen drivers assuming they have right of way from the slip road at Brettargh Holt roundabout onto the A 590 near side lane, west bound towards Barrow. A local man informed me, incorrectly, that this was now a lead in filter lane for the west bound A590. The give way lines are well worn at this junction and drivers are getting confused.
