We are a semi detached cottage in the B5067. The road has increased traffic due to many new builds over the last few years to be increased again, traffic to Walford College, Baschurch School, with no NWR road traffic continues to increase. Over the years it’s become increasingly difficult to pull out on to the road as the speed cars travel from the straight road from the monument in to the dip gives us no time or visibility when pulling out. Daily we are met with blasts from annoyed drivers as they do not seem to understand we simply have no visibility of traffic and have to take a chance every time we leave or pull on to our drive. Family friends vists, deliveries are met with the same anger, shouts from angry drivers and on a few occasions the bin collection guys are met with verbal abuse from drivers coming out from the dip with such speed they have to slam their brakes on to avoid collision. We have tried vision mirrors but they do not help as the duo prevents vision of vehicles until it’s to late. We have relied on listening for traffic before pulling out but this does not help now with the increase in EV cars as they are silent. I encourage a representative to come along during the busy times to experience the problem. We need a solution and look to SCC to provide this.
