A421 missing sound barrier prior to A600 exit between 300yrd and 200rd markers, 8th July

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 23:56:28 +0100
52.115987 -0.44218

There is no sound barrier prior to the 300 yrd marker and 200 yard marker prior to the A600 turning on the A421. The missing barrier allows road noise to reach the nearby housing area. The noise if the road means I either have to keep my bedroom windows shut or wear earplugs in order to sleep. The noise seems to be worsening over the years due yo extra traffic and reduction in road surface quality.
