Access onto roundabout

Reported via mobile in the Structures (eg bridges, fencing, noise barriers) (NH) category anonymously at 16:15, Fri 26 July 2024

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6280598.

Can I ask for a review of the Cophall roundabout in Polegate, please? The sheer volume and speed of traffic using the roundabout makes getting onto the roundabout, particularly at peak times, a somewhat risky business. Access from Hailsham Rd in Polegate is particularly bad. Polegate is due for a huge increase in houses and the consequential volume of traffic is only going to make this current issue even worse. Can a review of the roundabout and the number of vehicles using it take place please? Traffic lights would help to give everybody a fair chance without taking their life in the hands to get moving. Thank you

  • Errr... NO. Lights were installed faily early on in the life of this roundabout and they proved an utter disaster - an £800,000 disaster !!

    Now if only the original plans for a cloverleaf interchange had been adhered to eh ??

  • Is that an official answer? Things have changed since the initial design of the roundabout.
