The new surface isn't allowing drainage, 19th September

Tue, 19 Sep 2023 08:29:15 +0100
53.716528 -2.594153

Since the M65 motorway was resurfaced between junction 2 and 3 has become extremely dangerous in rainy conditions! This is not a typical amount of standing surface water. It's clear that it's that stretch of the motorway, because at junction 1 and 4 the motorway is clear of standing rain water, even in the low spot before the climb up the hill towards Darwen. There will be a big multi car crash soon if this issue isn't resolved! Please look into why the drains aren't clearing the water, or why the new smooth surface isn't as porous as the old surface.

Temporary Traffic Lights, 14th September

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 20:40:10 +0100
53.707765 -2.622969

Can someone explain why there has been temporary traffic lights on Sandy Lane for the last 2 weeks. I know some of the tarmac needs replacing by the roadside(as seen in photo) but does this warrant the traffic lights as it is causing tailbacks at busy times. As yet there has been no work carried out to repair the tarmac.

Joined from Sandy Lane. All across this junction there was muck conducive to that left by tractors. I was riding my motorbike and was spooked when I saw the muck, I could feel it was slippery under my wheels. Farmers who leave roads like this should be fined, it's a potentially lethal road condition.
