Missing/inconsistent speed limit signs, 27th September
Lancaster bound traffic on the A6, as it enters Bilsborrow, is now faced with the left hand 30mph sign blanked out and the right hand one missing. This effectively makes the speed limit through Bilsborrow 40mph as it was before the reduction to 30mph a few years ago.
Traffic exiting from St Michael's Road is still faced with a 30mph sign. This makes a 10mph variation in the speed limit depending which direction drivers have come from.
Drivers can't know what speed limit the speed camera by the White Bull car park is now enforcing. Only 40mph is legally enforceable now. However, as some drivers will be going 10mph slower than others depending on the last speed limit sign they saw, there is a risk of frustration and risky overtaking. Speed limits need to be properly and consistently signposted to be respected.

Road drops away, 21st February
Theres a stretch about 100m that isn't wide enough so when people pass they go onto the verge, and now the verge is so badly damaged and is just a whole about 15cm deep, so cars are badly damaged if they go down.... Gap needs filling about 40cm wide to make room to pass.

Huge pot holes on corner meaning drivers take corner wide and nearly smash, 21st February
These pot holes have been repaired in a basic way but who know the area still try to avoid them as they are really bad, and on a narrow road it's very dangerous. I pass down this road offended and have had many near misses.

Report on FixMyStreet
Drain blocked, 11th September
This drain has low flow, whenever there is rain it floods across the road. This has been happening for the past few years with no apparent action taken. This is becoming more unsafe, as cars go onto the wrong side of the road close to the junction, to avoid the 30 to 50cm of water, with a risk of a head-on collision.

Double white lines in centre of road need repainting., 10th March
Now very feint in parts and are being frequently ignored. In the last few weeks I have been overtaken on the crest of the bridge over the railway line on 3 occasions, once by a van and on 2 other occasions by motorbikes who disregarded or did not realise the road had double white lines.
