Drivers not following Highway Code, 9th February

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 08:10:02 +0000
53.718574 -1.592232

Vehicles are turning out of quarry lane give way junction with no regard for vehicles U turning at the relevant U turn point on the dual carriageway. The Highway Code states that as this is a give way junction then vehicles at the give way point should give way to traffic on the main road. Which they are not. I’ve had several lorry type vehicles turn into me and nearly hit me because they do not understand the road laws or have any regard for vehicles already on the dual carriageway.

53.715318 -1.621313

These cars and van are parked fully on the pavement, the van is on a corner making it hard to see on coming traffic , the road is narrow , the parking around here has got worse and worse, its about time it was monitored, a few of us on the street would like permit only parking ,to stop people just leaving there cars on our little cul-de-sac, the way the van and cars are parked would prevent emergency services getting passed , its the only entrance to our street . We have had letter sent to everyone over safe parking , but its not only our street people from up the road also park there , 1 familys adult children also park there even though they do not live there , sometime soon in this weather someone is going to get hurt

Long deep pot hole in between both lanes, 18th April

Mon, 18 Apr 2022 01:59:21 +0100
53.717328 -1.59232

This pot hole has been 4 months, it has damaged my car and i can imagine many other peoples. It’s a duel carriage way and it is a 40mph road, people who don’t know that it is there such as people who are visiting the area who haven’t been before, travelling at 40mph would cause some damage to their car. Police speed vans often sit at 3 spaces along this road, to say they do and nothing had been reported of this is concerning. This could cause some serious damage to someone’s car.

Two big DPD vans parking on a small cul-de-sac, 1st June

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 17:52:35 +0100
53.69524 -1.58553

There are two DPD vans that park on our street which one of them always tends to park on the corner. Which makes it near to impossible to get past as car parking is already an issue on the street. The street also has access to garages which one of them is ours, but it is always near to impossible to get a space by the garages as people park Infront of them with no regard to who's they are. Which when the DPD vans park on the street it begins to cause a parking problem as there is no space at all to park the car. I then end up having to park it on an entire different street or an awkward spot that may potentially block another car. It's seemed to be an issue now for the past two months. But suddenly another DPD van has shown up.
