Corner of Middlemere Bank
Reported via mobile in the Visibility at junction or bend category anonymously at 18:17, Mon 5 June 2023
Sent to Lincolnshire County Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 461261.
This bend is extremely dangerous for horse riders, cyclists and walkers. Due to the width of the road Cars, Vans and Lorries drive too fast around this corner. You are unable to see around the corner. I have had far too many near misses riding my horse on this stretch of road. If signage or a mirror is not installed soon then I’m afraid someone is going to get seriously injured!

No action required at this time, we appreciate that this road is narrow but we are unable to erect signage without the support of Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership. Even if we have support to install rural hazard signs on this hierarchy 5 road more information is still required, such as where horses are being exercised and has the request received support from the Parish Council. We will continue to monitor this location as part of our routine inspection process, and the grass will be cut on our cyclic programme which will assist somewhat with visibility.
