Parking on pavement, 3rd February

53.603645 -1.271329

For months cars are pavement parking to the extent that pedestrians are forced to walk in the road. It is dangerous and very busy at 6am and 6pm as that's when shifts start. Someone is going to get seriously injured. There have been a few near misses recently

Pavement parking, 6th January

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 21:33:01 +0000
53.603885 -1.271559

For as long as I've worked in the area, this type of parking has been a real issue. It has got worse over the last 6 weeks or so and is dangerous to pedestrians. Pedestrians are being forced to walk in the road, which at the times pedestrians are arriving here the roads are very busy with people rushing to start their 6am shift. It is the same scenario in the evenings. Something needs to be done before someone gets seriously injured (I was nearly hit a couple of weeks ago by a speeding driver who drove down the road at about 60 mph.

Long, dangerously positioned pothole on roundabout, 16th December

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 21:54:45 +0000
53.606953 -1.277155

Pothole is on roundabout, exactly where a motorcycle would normally be positioned by its rider when leaning over to the right whilst navigating the roundabout. It cannot be seen until almost upon it if travelling from the direction of Dale Lane, Wrangbrook Lane or from the direction of Doncaster. At night, it could prove fatal.

Next E2 Elmsall way Pavement parking, 9th December

53.603931 -1.27161

Every day I go to work at Next I'm forced to walk in the road because of all the people parking on the pavement and grass verge despite there being visible double yellow lines. It is illegal and dangerous, especially as it's dark when pedestrians arrive or leave work. Spoken to Next and they tell me to report it to the council

Obscured by foliage, 24th August

53.619022 -1.23471

The sign indicating that an interchange onto the A1 is upcoming is mostly covered by tree branches (and given that it’s green is very easy to miss). There are not, to my recollection, road markings that would indicate such a major intersection is coming up, making it difficult for those unfamiliar with the road to prepare safely. I’m unsure how long it’s been an issue as I have only travelled this way once.

Dangerous Surface - Speed Bumps Erosion, 20th March

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:39:55 +0000
53.612683 -1.286704

The surface is so poor that speed bumps are pointless here as they constantly cause erosion of the road surface resulting in more risk of vehicle damage and also danger, especially to cyclists and motor cyclists. Save money for road users and local authority alike by repairing the road and removing these speed bumps.

Badly Decayed Surface - Speed Humps, 20th March

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:33:55 +0000
53.613211 -1.286403

The surface of the speed humps and immediate vicinity is horrendous, especially on a bicycle or motorcycle. It causes the wheels to twitch sideways which could so easily cause the rider to lose control, especially so at night at dusk through the hours of darkness.

Bad junction layout/signage, 5th January

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 21:55:56 +0000
53.61703 -1.23163

Having used this road since it was altered years ago I feel it has become more problematic over the years. When travelling towards the junction to be able to pull onto the a1 northbound or pontefract road the one sign states that the dual road should merge to a single lane then split to turn either way at the junction, there is a small hatched area to supposedly move cars over to single file. There are no arrows on the road to highlight this! I’ve found that when approaching towards this junction at peak times and traffic is back up , vehicles are using both lanes but are infact creating 2 lanes. One for turning right and one for turning left. To do this vehicles are moving over the white lines of the opposing traffic and going over the hatched area. If using this road correctly you should be able to stay left until near the end, but vehicles creating the second ( unofficial) lane are stopping vehicles moving over with the feeling they are pushing in, when infact they are using the road correctly. I feel this road either needs splitting into 2 lanes to go either direction with proper signage, or creating a proper way to make vehicles move into single file way before the junction.
