Before road re-opened later than planned due to an error in mid July. This was for developer work to install a footpath and new drainage. The road that has opened has new chicanes with road markings suggesting give way, but the road signs say you have priority. This is the same for oncoming traffic. Eventually, as Murphy’s law suggests, “if it can happen it will happen” this will be the root cause of a head on collision.

I suggest the road is closed for an full and proper assessment.
