A1 North & Southbound between Stevenage & Hatfield
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4452397.
I was pleased to see several reports already of these potholes but needs action urgently now. There is high risk of damage to vehicles & definitely motorcyclists. The roads in certain parts have large deep holes on the edge of lane 1, in between lanes 1 & 2 with the road breaking up more & more by the day. I'm a motorcyclist and have had a few near misses a couple of these when overtaking & moving back into lane 1 and getting the wheels stuck in a long rut which runs parallel with the road and its only a matter of time that someone will get caught out & go down & then run over. Hitting these the larger holes dotted around at 70 mph & less is dangerous & can't been seen at night. This has to be inspected - You can't miss them. This has been bad for quite sometime now.
