RTCs increasing

Reported via desktop in the Other highways issue category anonymously at 11:07, Thu 20 July 2023

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14118939.

We have had numerous RTCs on this stretch of road (outside 1 and 2 Prospect Cottages) over the years but it's getting worse. There have been 2 in the last month, one involving a tractor, car and cherry picker and the other a car and van. These are mainly caused by drivers going too fast for the road. It is national speed limit but it isn't safe to drive that fast around these bends. There is an advisory 40mph and warning of bends sign near Stone Hose Farm (about 500 yards down the road) but this sign needs moving up the road to above Irish Meadow. People drive down the straight from Knowbury at speed and don't realise they will hit a series of bends. It's making it scary to try to turn into or out of my own property (I've lived here 45 years) and that's not acceptable. Move the sign would be a great help.
