Significant hump on surface of the road

Reported via desktop in the Road Surface category anonymously at 15:10, Thursday 12 February 2026

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 436435.

Following roadworks some time ago a "hump" of 2"+ was left on the carriageway on the inside of the road.

This causes significant impact on susp[ension when driving over the hump, espeacially as the speed limit here is 40mph.

The hump seems to have white spray paint markings around it and so may have already been identified by authorities as an issue.

It's likely that this defect is going to cause damage to vehicles crossing it eventually
