Concerns: Dangerous road conditions on the A66 include a lack of pedestrian warnings, rapid acceleration onto an unlit section, poor lighting, and national speed limit signs placed too close to a roundabout.
Responded
Bartosz Kusiak
Concerns: An unlit dual carriageway with a national speed limit, lacking a footpath, is extremely unsafe for pedestrians. Visibility for drivers was inadequate, making emergency stops impossible within the available range.
Responded
Barrie Copeland
Concerns: Inadequately lit, carpeted steps at the venue were difficult to recognise, posing a fall hazard, particularly for those with poor eyesight, with no evidence of post-accident safety examination.

Millie Taylor-Noonan
Concerns: Inadequate pedestrian safety measures near a school crossing, including a lack of lighting, railings, dedicated crossings, crossing patrols, or temporary speed limits, creates a high-risk environment for students.
Responded
James Anthony Lewis and Lorraine Molyneaux
Concerns: Repeated pedestrian fatalities at an uncontrolled crossing point, driven by bus stop proximity and inadequate lighting, highlight an urgent need for a new controlled crossing and neglected funding applications.

Beryl Fricker
Concerns: Poor street lighting at a wide, busy junction in a residential area created inadequate illumination for all road users, increasing collision risks for pedestrians and vehicles.
Responded
Adam Wilcox
Concerns: A busy main road lacks safe pedestrian and cycle crossings, forcing individuals to navigate dangerous sections where pathways end, significantly increasing the risk of serious collisions.
Overdue
David Moore
Concerns: A dark section of the A693, serving as an unofficial pedestrian crossing point with a 60mph speed limit and no street lighting, creates a critical hazard where vehicle stopping distances exceed driver visibility.
Responded
Costel Stancu
Concerns: The lack of lighting on a section of the motorway is an ongoing risk, having contributed to collisions, and its safety implications were not reassessed during the 'smart motorway' conversion.
Responded
Jason Imi
Concerns: The absence of a footpath and street lighting near a hotel entrance on a main road forces pedestrians to cross in darkness with poor visibility, creating a significant risk of collision.
Responded
Keith Battman
Concerns: Insufficient road safety features, including inadequate chevrons, faded road markings, and lack of vehicle-activated warning signs, contribute to a dangerous sharp bend.
Responded
William Hignett
Concerns: Safety concerns include hazardous junction configuration, insufficient street lighting, vegetation obstructing visibility, and an inappropriate speed limit.
