Road Markings Unclear and Dangerous

28th November

As you come off the A14 at Junction 40 Westbound you have two lanes with arrows pointing either left to Barrow or right to Tuddenham, however there is a road which leads to Higham village and businesses almost directly opposite the right hand lane. I work for one of these businesses and one more than one occasion have witnessed or been involved in a potential accident because there are no markings to indicate which lane to use to cross. The issue has been present since the roads were last marked.

Debris and dirt on side of bridge

16th August

The dirt and debris has been accumulated on the side of this narrow 2 lane bridge. Plants have started growing out of it, which causes cars from the closest lane to veer into the oncoming lane. The bridge is just past a blind curve and it very dangerous. I have been in and seen many near misses. It's only a matter of time before there is a major accident. The debris and dirt just need to be cleared away.

No white lines including cats eyes

7th December

Since the road was resurfaced about 3 years ago, no white lines have been painted on the road and the cats eyes not put back. This makes the road, especially at night and when its wet unsafe. This is a busy stretch of highway from the A14 to Tuddenham

Give way signs not clear

9th January

Multiple cars have overshot the give way and ended up in the field opposite. The Give Way sign at the top of the slip road seems to be insufficient or too small and/or chevrons need to be placed opposite. The latest incident was today. The last 6 weeks, 5 cars have ended up in the field.

Terrible tarmac on junction to minor road

25th May

I was cycling with a group and this junction was terrible as the whole surface from the major to the minor road was ridged and broken with a dangerous surface. Please do something to rectify this poorly maintained road before someone comes off.
