Faulty automatic sign, 21st February
At the A590 junction with Brow Edge Road, Backbarrow (SD 3568 8485 approx) there is a pedestrian crossing with automatic warning signs on the main road. The warning sign to the south of the crossing stays permanently on when it is raining. (That to the north appears to work correctly.)

Lack of road signs to reduce speed in accident blackspot, 25th January
Hello, A lot of work has been undertaken to reduce the speed near the petrol station at this location including reduction to 40mph and average speed enforcement. Since this was introduced last year there have been 2x deaths in 2024 at this location. I often travel this route and wish to remain compliant with 40mph, but often am not aware of which speed zone I am in. For locals we may choose the lower speed, for tourists they may just not be aware. Yes they will be fined, but for some that is too late. I suggest a lot more speed and enforcement signage to reduce the speed in this area, it is simply not that clear and will not be having the desired effect despite a lot of effort and money spent so far. Many thanks. S

Temporary traffic lights, 3rd January
Work being carried out until 15/01/24. Today I needed to drive from Ulverston and was held up for one hour twenty minutes due to the lights. The frustration was that when I got to the lights the traffic tailback coming in the opposite direction was only eight cars long! This is very poor traffic management and only adds to the frustration and is a total imbalance. Can this be resolved by better monitoring of traffic while this work is on?

Temporary traffic lights., 7th December
The road is insured by traffic lights. The busiest part coming into Cumbria and you have allowed traffic lights there. Why is this not being done through the night like it was putting in average speed cameras. This is causing massive delays in the area for people getting to and from work.

Report on FixMyStreet
Overgrown hedge, 31st July
Please can I ask you to cut the hedge to the south of Newby Bridge Service Station. It is a very dangerous situation as cars approaching the garage from the south, travelling at up to 60mph, do not have a clear view of traffic exiting the garage. There have been several accidents, which necessitated the closure of the road, causing delays and frustration, not to mention the cost of emergency services time. It is an easily solvable problem; the hedge needs to be trimmed back please.
