FIXMYSTREET IN EX2 7PR
The following problems have been reported on Fix My Street within 2 miles of EX2 7PR:
Worrying road noise from traffic on M5 over this bridge junction 30, 21st April
When you wait at traffic lights underneath the M5 junction 30 heading towards Sandy Park and there is significant traffic on the M5 above there is a lot of noise - a clattery noise as traffic drives over something loose or uneven- maybe a man hole (surely not on a motorway?). (50.7118824, -3.4640557)Or perhaps there is a join in the bridge here. Anyway it’s been like this a long time but I’ve been reading a book on civil engineering accidents and was prompted to ask you to go and listen during rush hour when you’re nearby. The noise must be made by force and repetitive force can damage things I suppose.

Pothole in centre of sliproad, 25th February
As you exit on the slipway of Jct 29 of the M5, to go east on the A30, in the middle of the road I hit a pothole. It was difficult to assess, but felt significant. Could potentially cause vehicle damage. In heavy icy conditions would probably create a danger to lose control.

White lines unclear, as many drivers are confused where to position their cars as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout, 31st October
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am writing to report an everyday confusion that I see for the past year as I commute from Taunton to Exeter.
As you exit M5 on Southbound side and about to enter the Sandygate Roundabout (in order to head to either the 2nd, 3rd or 4th exit, drivers on the 4th lane on the slip road (right-hand lane) struggle to position their cars and always get into the 3rd lane as they leave the slip road and enter the roundabout.
This happens during summer even when it's still bright outside. It could possibly due to the white lines overlapping each other. It is now worse as it gets dark early and starts to rain more.

Overgrown vegetation obstructing cycle path, 6th June
The vegetation along the side of the road/pavement is making it very narrow for cyclists to get past the traffic light column. The whole length of pavement from the lay-by down the A30 to where Devon County Council takes responsibility of the road needs to be cut back, but also scraped back on the pavement to reveal the true width of the pavement again due to debris and growth.

A sink was broken up and left in a public area immediately to the right of Flat 1, Old St Loyes, Salters Road, Heavitree, 20th April
The broken sink had multiple dangerous sharp edges so I placed all into a bag and then into a cardboard box which is marked with warning signs, I have this at the flat but it needs collecting or I could leave the box at the flytipping spot?

Large pothole in road. Was fixed but has quickly deteriorated., 24th February
This is not nice to drive or cycle through and really needs to be fixed. It’s near a school and kids with small wheeled bikes cycle this route. I worry about an accident occurring.
