Lots of very big, very deep potholes hidden by standing water!, 28th March

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 20:17:18 +0000
51.006695 -3.059258

These pot holes have been here for an extremely long time, we have been driving down this road 5 days a week for a good year and I would say they have been there and just getting worse over that time. Most of them are hidden underneath the standing water that never really seems to go. Unfortunately yesterday morning our car tyre got damaged by one.

Pothole M5 between J24 and J25 in 3rd lane Left work from J24 M5 heading south to Taunton J25. As I'm travelling back I've gone out to 3rd lane and gone over a massive pothole which has caused a puncture and possibly wheel damage. This happened about 6pm today 21/01/24. I have reported this back in January and not heard anything from you.

Very uneven road surface, 30th January

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 03:53:49 +0000
51.017605 -3.063375

Travelling South Bound in Lane 1. You hit a very uneven bit of road, it is on the raised bit of M5 at junction 25 as you go over the roundabout at Ruishton. I have hit it on two separate journeys and it has been enough to hurt my back both times and I am in a large SUV. So whatever it is, it is significant.

Confusing road markings j25 north exit slip, 7th January

Sun, 07 Jan 2024 15:04:37 +0000
51.017224 -3.064667

Coming off at j25 north exit slip the markings are left lane: a358 west, right lane: a358 east. That right lane then turns into a358 west with the east lane merging off to the right. Many many drivers do not notice the change to the lanes and then believe the center lane can turn right (towards Ilminster, a303 etc). I've had a number of near misses, almost being hit in the side a few times as I pick up the left turn right lane on the roundabout. The markings have been like that a long time but it seems recently people are not as observant. I would suggest that the second a358 west lane (the middle lane) merges from the other a358 west lane and sign posts be put up to alert drivers.
