Calls for safety improvements at junction near Metheringham

According to the petition, external[1], there are often delays of 10-15 minutes at the junction when it is busy.

It stated: "As a result of these delays, drivers often resort to dangerous manoeuvres to continue their journey, causing frequent accidents."

Sarah Gleave, who lives nearby on Metheringham Heath Road, said she often witnessed accidents there.

"The most recent one was not nice... and it took two hours to clear," she said. "I had only driven through the junction about 30 minutes before it had happened, so it could have easily been me."

The 55-year-old suggested that some people opt not to use the junction at all.

"My neighbour who lives on the other side of the crossroads goes the long way round to work just to avoid using it," she said.

"The roads are so busy, and people get it wrong," she added.
