FIXMYSTREET IN LA8 8NR
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of LA8 8NR:
Dangerous road surface, 26th March
There is a long stretch of broken tarmac on the joint between lanes one and two of the westbound carriageway. It is more than a single pothole and whilst its not such a problem in a car, on a motorcycle it is a much more serious issue with loss of control being a likely possibility. The damage stretches from Levens junction to past the Gilpin Bridge junction. It has been like this for some time and is now getting seriously bad.
Report on FixMyStreet
Suggested improvement, 4th March
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
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.

Dead deer on eastern side of dual carriageway, 13th August
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
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.
