Speed limit needs to be reduced along the A1000 outside Sherrardswood school, 28th March
Exiting the A1 and travelling down the A1000 past the entrance to the school cars are travelling too fast to allow cars to exit the school safely. If you travel past at the end of a school it is only a matter of time before there is a serious accident. There is a bus stop on the opposite carriageway but how are people expected to be able to cross 4 lanes of traffic? We have had a lane taken away on the way into town to make a safe cycle lane that I have never seen used, the money would have been better spent looking after the safety of pupils and families that attend Sherrardswood school.

Hertford Road A1000 outside Sherrardswood School is dangerous and needs to be slowed, 17th March
- Road is dangerous, it’s derestricted so vehicles can legally travel up to 70mph past the school entrance. - turning off or onto this road from the school entrance is extremely hazardous as the view is restricted. Oncoming cars often appear out of nowhere due to their high speeds. - To utilise the bus stops you need to cross this dangerous road. - speed needs to be limited to 30mph and engineering measures put in place to facilitate this (new speed signs/painted road markings/countdown markers/rumble strips/part time flashing lights etc)

Not enough signage for 20mph zone, 17th March
Station Road from junction of Hertford Rd to Harmer Green is a 20mph zone. The signs are minute. Easily missed from Hertford Rd junction. The photographs represent the area of houses and cars in the village we need a big sign, Sid’s or speed camera. Drivers rat running exceed 30 mph. Putting all pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers in danger. Cars speeding up Station Rd from Hertford Rd are ignoring drivers exiting there drives. Cars speeding from the Harmer Green junction under the bridge meet a blind bend from the pub, they do not slow here and there have been multiple near misses. We have had 2 crashes in the last year. Again due to speeding. We have lots of elderly residents and families with young children. Station Rd speeding traffic includes vans and lorries, this is a lethal mix for our neighbours. We need bigger signage, Sids or speed camera. And speed cameras around the village.

Unacceptably dangerous speed limit outside school, 16th March
Unacceptable that a road in-front of a school allows cars to drive at 70mph. Serious accident only last year involving a pedestrian and this road remains a major threat to life. Exiting the school or crossing the road is extremely dangerous

Hertford Road A1000 dangerous speed outside of a school., 16th March
The unrestricted speed limit on this road is extremely dangerous and unnecessary. There are two bus stops along this road, one of which has no lay-by for the bus to stop. Sherrardswood School is located on this route and having a 70 miles an hour speed limit outside of a school is hazardous, especially when pupils and parents need to cross this road to get to any form of pavement. This road needs to reduced in speed considerably as well as clearer signposts for hazards.

National speed limit needs to be revised, 16th March
The A1000 dual carriageway outside sherrardswood school is a national speed limit. Cars turning in and exiting is drought with potential danger every time. One end towards tewin goes into a 30mph, Bessemer road is a 40mph. So in the interest of road safety reduce the little stretch of dual carriageway to 40 mph outside the school as it can only reduce the future potential of a serious accident. And will also help pedestrians that have to cross the dual carriageway more visual time to cross!

Hertford Road A1000 outside Sherrardswood School is dangerous and needs to be slowed’., 16th March
The road poses a significant danger as it is derestricted, allowing vehicles to legally travel up to 70mph past the school entrance. Turning onto or off of this road from the school entrance presents hazardous conditions. Additionally, accessing the bus stops requires crossing this perilous road. Consequently, it's imperative to limit the speed to 30mph and implement engineering measures to ensure safety, such as installing new speed signs, painted road markings, countdown markers, rumble strips, and part-time flashing lights. Thank you

Speed limit, 16th March
The 70mph limit outside Sherrardswood school on this stretch of road is extremely dangerous for pedestrians, bus users and drivers. To use the bus stop, you have to cross this fast road and there is no crossing to enable this. When coming out of the school drive, you are pulling out into 70mph traffic which is dangerous for the children in cars. There is no way that children can walk safely to and from school because there is not a safe crossing or a path on the school side. It is also dangerous for the staff working at the school who don't drive (of which there are a few!) as there is no safe route of entry. A pedestrian was seriously injured trying to cross the road recently. Surely a road outside of a school needs to have a 30mph limit to keep everyone safe.

Hertford Road risks school childrens' life, 15th March
Road is dangerously and unnecessarily fast, and is treated as a race track right outside a school (Sherrardswood) with children as young as 3. Using the bus stop means putting a child's life in danger. This road MUST be slowed down to a maximum of 30 MPH urgently

Speeding, 6th March
The road regardless of what time of day is a hazard. Every day there are near misses on either side of the carriage way due to speed limit. People do not take the school onto consideration. And when turning out of the school it’s a danger as people at coming down from the one roundabout to the other easily reaching 69-79 mph. On numerous occasions the road has had to be shut due to accidents happening.
