Where Church Road Stow emerges on a bend on Normanby Road about 300m North of the village , the 'No Motor Vehicles' sign has been knocked over, leaving a cube of concrete above ground. The marker posts around this bend are grossly inadequate, only one existing on the N. of the bend, despite the fact that Church Road is only half way round it. The gap in the row of marker posts where the (now barriered) Church Road emerges on to the B1241, together with the absence of the road sign, make it appear to a motorcyclist travelling N. at night that the road bends left beyond this point. As a result, I crashed off the road last week, narrowly missing the concrete block at the base of the uprooted road sign. 9 days later, I am still recovering from multiple injuries, although I am very fortunate to have avoided hospitalisation. If I'd hit the concrete block or the sign itself, hidden in undergrowth, I would likely be dead. The sign needs to be removed or reinstated and the bend needs to be consistently marked all the way round. It would be preferable if that end of Church Road was permanently removed and the verge and marker posts became continuous right through the bend. Chevron-type markers would be good. There are no cats-eyes on that road.
