A17 to undergo new safety assessment
Lincolnshire County Council is carrying out a new safety assessment for a stretch of road after a petition called for action to cut the number of incidents.
A Road Safety Review is being carried out by Lincolnshire County Council on the A17, with reports being prepared specifically for the Brant Broughton staggered junction and the wider A17 route between Beckingham and Byards Leap.
Residents and road users have been calling for safety improvements - with a petition receiviong more than 1,200 signatures so far.
As part of this work, four covert seven-day speed and traffic flow surveys have been undertaken to provide data on whether there is a speed issue at this location.
Four new speed surveys have now been completed and that the reports are currently being compiled. The council has committed to sharing the results once this work is finished.
The council has made various signing and road-marking improvements over the years.
