Blind bend extremely dangerous, 3rd December
Good morning I have just moved into the new fstherford estate in okehampton and I'm extremely concerned for the safety of the junction heading out of the estate.
There has already been 2 accidents on the junction.
When leaving the estate the busy main route into okehampton is extremely dangerous. Turning right onto Exeter Road you need to move on to the main road before being able to see what's approaching. Traffic from the left Is also restricted.
There are mirrors placed opposite the junction but not fully visible.
To the right of the junction is a bend and another turning for fatherford lane which is also abstracted by a bridge.
At peak times this is a dangerous junction to be coming from.

Standing water on carriageways east and westbound, 18th October
Both east and westbound carriageways of the A30 have shallow standing/flowing water during any period after rain. Last winter this became black ice after a cold night and led to at least one crash on the eastbound carriageway with a car hitting the barrier on the inside lane of the road. Up to that time it felt like 'one of those things' as it meant there was significant spray from cars but not much more. Having seen the danger that water flowing across a major road can lead to in freezing conditions, it's something that National Highways need to deal with.
