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.

30mph road sign, 25th March
The sign is obscured by foliage as the hedge has not been suitable trimmed. The traffic approaches the village pass a car park and Acorn Nursery on a road without a pavement and is dangerous. The road sign should be visible.

Long and deep pothole on side of broken road edge., 23rd March
This hole and damaged road edge has been getting worse the last few months and now is a drop off road of several inches. Is is located where cars sweep down from Kimpton Road and where cars moce over to when having to avoid coming traffic. Also where bikes move into. Now deep enough to bust a tyre, cause damage or severely injured a cyclist.

Dangerous 70mph dual carriageway school road, 17th March
This road is extremely dangerous being a 70mph dual carriageway directly adjacent to the Sherrardswood School Drive. This should be a 30 or 40mph road not 70mph. School children and teachers are unable to cross safely to get to school. There should be a crossing so children and teachers can walk to school as currently they can only get here by car safely. Pedestrians do still cross it despite the danger and with the school doubling in size in the last 5 years there is an increased risk of a fatality on the road. Last year a 12 year old girl was was near-fatally injured after trying to cross the road on foot. Sixth form drivers exiting the blind school junction are also at risk of collision here. Pedestrians walking on the footpath on the other side of the road are at risk of being hit by cars coming off the road at speed especially around the bend. This road is an anomaly that needs to be addressed asap.

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)

Unsafe roundabout, 16th March
The combination of traffic lights and road markings lead to confusion. There have been multiple accidents here caused by cars pulling onto the roundabout thinking they have right of way because the light is green (they don't)

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

Give way aigns, 16th March
I use this roundabout every day, coming from Welwyn garden city. I have to go right around the roundabout to get to work, and the traffic lights are on the roundabout. The traffic coming from Old Welwyn doesn't seem to see (or take notice of) the Give Way signs as they are too far away from the junction of the roundabout so when the traffic lights on the roundabout change, the traffic from old Welwyn pull straight onto the roundabout, without checking to see what traffic is on and coming round the roundabout. Every morning when I use this roundabout, I take my life into my hands with.this. I have had cars drive into my car (on the passenger side with my child in that seat) and have had multiple near misses, all because people don't see the give way signs as they are too far from the junction onto the roundabout. Please can they be moved and made considerably bigger, so that drivers see them and give way on the roundabout.
