Pothole near traffic light, 10th February

53.403647 -2.743887

Large, very deep pothole near to the traffic light going around the stoops in the far right hand lane. Noticed this last week, use this lane everyday on my commute and on Friday the driver in front slammed on due to its depth and then I went through it, felt as though it could potentially burst tyres if going at the speed limit.

Road markings almost invisible, 13th January

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 07:58:07 +0000
53.402589 -2.744416

The road lines and markings on this roundabout are almost invisible and have been for a minimum of 12 months. The lanes are not clear on a three-lane roundabout and this is a serious hazard. I travel on this road daily and witness cars and lorry’s merging into each other because the lanes are not visible, it’s a free for all when starting from the lights before Rainhill stoops. I was hit by an artic lorry 3 months ago from behind because he could not see me on his left as he drove over the lane. I know where the lanes are because I’ve travelled this route for over 15 years but the hazard is getting worse with drivers just guessing the lane line and moving towards other cars and lorry’s dangerously. The lines need to be defined properly ASAP. My insurance premium was increased through no fault of my own due to invisible markings gs that caused a lorry to veer into me. Please resolve this necessary task.

East bound M62 carriageway from Warrington Road through the stumps on to the motorway heading east sections of the carriageway have deep ruts in the surface with leveling susidance and potholes this carries through the four lane section towards Warrington south and middle two lanes surfaces are the worst for at least a 2 miles stretch with potholes poor road surfaces causing motorist to take avoiding action to miss them with their vehicles this is a fast section of motorway and is a accident waiting to happen with the disrepair of this section of carriageway on the east bound side of m62 . Also the road surface through the stumps on Warrington Road junction 7 is also poor and potholes I’ve reported to both Knowsley and St Helens councils Highway but they say it’s not their responsibility on this section of the junction .

Road too narrow to allow HGV to get across, 19th October

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 22:59:33 +0100
53.426606 -2.724121

This is the 4th HGV that has struggled to manoeuvre from mill lane into Marshalls cross road. One HGV last week mounted the curb and then almost hit the post on the opposite side of the road. The lorry in the picture had to make several manoeuvres back and forward to get round narrow road. If a child is stood behind the vehicle the driver doesn't see them they could be hit. I have never seen anything so ridiculous with this new roundabout. Twice I have almost been hit by cars that think they can go straight ahead from Marshalls cross road towards clock face road from the right hand lane which is meant for vehicles turning right. I have seen an accident already in this road.

Someone is going to get killed here, 19th July

53.428468 -2.74039

Turning right onto the St Helens link way from Elton Head Road towards the M62. The lights change leaving vehicle's stuck in the middle of the road. There are 3 lanes approaching the junction so cars travelling faster move to the outside lane, unable to see any cars that were to turn right in the middle of the carriageway. There should be more of a delay on the lights to give sufficient time to join the main carriageway.

53.403274 -2.746233

The traffic lights on the approach to the stoops roundabout (Junction 7 of M62) from Rainhill only stay on green for 20 seconds or so, approximately 2 or 3 cars get through before they change. This is causing a huge back up along the A57 and has been going on for at least 2 weeks.
