Lack of lane guidance, 25th February

Sun, 25 Feb 2024 12:07:14 +0000
54.86526 -1.445024

On the A690 from Durham, approaching the Herrington Interchange, local knowledge is that to continue straight on into Sunderland on the A690 it is necessary to take the outside lane. However, for drivers not familiar with this road, there are no signs to indicate this. Also, the road markings indicate the inside lane is suitable to go straight on the A690. However, once the road begins to bear left, the road markings change to indicate this lane is for the A19 slip road. This results in drivers having to make a quick, potentially dangerous, lane change just before the traffic lights. Signs on the interchande approach advising inside lane for A19 North and outside lane for A690 Sunderland and Doxford Business Park would resolve this problem.

Street lights not working, 18th January

54.854417 -1.48104

The pathway from newbottle primary academy school heading towards Staddon Way, Newbottle has street lights but they are never turned on. The lights were erected a few years ago. This makes it very dark especially in the winter for children leaving school and for dog walkers. There is also a new estate beside this pathway which must make it unsafe for them too. Please turn these lights on!!

Outside the entrance to the park, on the road of West Park, there is a point to stop and give way to oncoming traffic. The cars travelling up the incline have right of way. The weeds beside the park wall are currently so tall, that with the angle of the road, it is difficult to see if there are actually any vehicles, coming up the road. They block your vision to the right.
