Obscured view of oncoming traffic
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 2945132.
At the bottom of the slip road at the junction off the A56 going onto the A679 northbound the overgrown trees and hedgerow blocks all visibility from approaching traffic approaching from the right. It’s a complete blindspot and I have on numerous occasions nearly been involved in an accident due to speeding cars and not being able to see them approaching. I commute and use this slip road on a daily basis and it’s getting increasingly worse. I spoke to Burnley Council who say they are not responsible. Please can you advise who is responsible before an accident occurs? Thank you!

Thank you for contacting Highways England.
We have passed your report regarding vegetation obscuring visibility to our local inspector who will review the issue as part of their next safety check. We'll arrange for the cutting back of vegetation here as needed. Highways England is responsible for the slip road and embankments here, however the roundabout itself if maintain by the local authority.
Kind regards Highways England
