Subsided gulley in middle of active lane
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6449843.
The road surface has gradually subsided on this sliproad (which is a tight, downhill corner). This has now formed a narrow twisting gulley running through the middle of the active lane, and become dangerous. Unlike a pothole, it has sloping sides that offer little grip when a wheel has entered the channel. My two right tyres became trapped in this gulley, when the road surface was wet, so there was insufficient grip to steer them out easily. When I turned the wheel sufficiently for the tyres to escape the gulley, the sudden change in direction caused my car to come off the road. If you test driving a small car on a wet day with the right hand wheels going along the gulley, this will help to demonstrate that the sliproad surface has become quite dangerous.
