Slippery road surface
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3324662.
The A38 slip road road surface was recently relaid. Since then there has already been one accident where a vehicle has left the road as the road surface is slippery. This isn’t helped as it is on a corner and vehicles routinely now lose traction as they follow the slip road on to the A38, even if they are driving well under the posted speed limit and driving to the expected road conditions. Can a rougher/grippy road surface be laid?

Riley Lane to Riley Croft and Top Riley no Grit provided near the Riley Graves and cars sliding around. Farmer has assisted in pulling cars but could have been avoided if grit was made available at the Riley’s Graves.

Thank you for contacting National Highways concerning a slippery road surface.
We inspected the surface condition of the eastbound on slip at Harcomb on 28 February 2022 and have no concerns with the surface.
New surfacing can often have less grip than older surfaces for the first few weeks whilst the binder gets trafficked off the stone.
If you require any other information please contact our Customer Contact Centre on 0300 123 5000 or info@nationalhighways.co.uk
