Missing give way road markings
Sent to Rutland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7810802.
The road markings at w3w reapply.repaying.swarm are faded to the point where it is not clear that this is a give way point. This has been made worse this week by the resurfacing and application of new white lines to the adjoining junction. It now looks like there is no junction. This was already a very dangerous junction. A life threatening accident took place there on 29 May with a motorcyclist. Another accident with 2 cars took place on Thursday 19 June. Multiple other near misses have taken place. Remedial action needs to be taken urgently before someone is killed.

This junction, as has already been reported, is extremely dangerous with hardly any visible road markings. I understand that you are struggling with staff issues however a team has refurbished the left hand lane of this junction totally ignoring the far more dangerous Seaton side. If you found staff to do the left hand side (along with other numerous white line replacements in Harringworth village) why on earth wasn't this part of the highway deemed to be more urgent? Did you run out of paint, gas or basically common sense ? I really look forward to this serious matter being dealt with very soon. Thank you.

I’d like to add to the above report to echo how dangerous this junction is- made even worse by one half of the junction being freshly re-painted. The almost invisible give way markings as you travel from morcott towards Seaton create the impression of a continuous road and cars repeatedly pull out into on coming traffic - there have been several nasty crashes recently and it’s hugely dangerous and worrying. This needs urgent attention.

The following reports have recently been filed on this system. 7836007 9th July 7867526 13th July Some action was taken middle of last week to place some additional temporary signage warning drivers that road markings were deficient. Thursday last week both of these reports were then closed by the council as deemed no further action required after an inspection last week. I spoke with the council on Thursday last week on the phone and have been assured of further feedback. This 3rd report was filed on Saturday this weekend and has been added to further by others since then. The reported junction remains a clear danger in the opinion of several.

Further to my added comment above. A written response has come back from Rutland CC Highways informing that repainting etc at the junction is on the list and the recently installed temporary signs is an early Pratt of this and that The scheduling of any work for this is down to the Contractor for the timebeing.

Over the last month there have been further incidents at this junction with accidents and near misses. There has still been no repair work done to eliminate this as a danger zone.
Also the few temporary signs that have been put up by the Council in the meantime have been knocked down a couple of times and had to be re-set y members of the public who are monitoring the junction.
An early repair and improvement to this junction would be appreciated to reduce/remove the danger.
This report is now closed to updates from the public. You can make a new report in the same location.
