Mobile dot matrix sign causing congestion/ distraction, 12th March

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 10:12:35 +0000
53.303283 -2.971855

Good morning, There is mobile dot matrix sign positioned just before J5 southbound M53 as three lanes merge into two. The sign has been positioned in the past week and is a long distance away from the carriageway. The text is small and there is a large amount of detail describing the roadworks due to take place over 20+ weeks on the M53. The positioning of this sign and the small text is causing traffic to slow significantly at the point of the lane merger, which is causing a large amount of unnecessary and potentially dangerous congestion through distraction especially at rush hour. Please could this sign be moved or a much larger sign be installed? Many thanks.

On going work in field with new access created onto the Welsh Road.(junction of A550 and Heath Lane), 6th February

Tue, 06 Feb 2024 15:24:48 +0000
53.293372 -2.960227

This is a busy road and further unauthorised access will increase the risk of major accidents. In addition a further access has been created just down Heath Lane which will again increase traffic. Th original access is now giving access to a business. This is very close to a junction and will again increase the likelihood of further major accidents.

New Access Point Created and Commercial Use of existing access to field, 1st February

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 12:18:49 +0000
53.293577 -2.959802

A field at the corner of the A550 and school lane has been sub divided. A new access point has been created in a section of the hedge/fence to allow access to a section of the field and an existing access is being used for frequent commercial purposes. The increased access frequency and the use of the pavement as a car park at an accident black spot is causing a potential danger to users of the A550 and visibility blind spots for those entering the A550 from Heath Lane. The issue has been ongoing for 7-10 days
