Sliproad unlit M62 J21 Westbound

Reported via mobile in the Not working (NH) category anonymously at 08:02, Monday 3 February 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7075303.

In dark/ at night this sliproad is unlit. As you can see from previous diagram it is a severe curve. No lighting or cats eyes. As it's a curve your headlights are not pointing where you are going. I feel it is extremely dangerous. You can't see where you are going and have to slow to 30 mph or lower. This itself is a risk when trying to join the motorway. I believe the minimum speed should be 40mph failing queues or accident? Unbelievably when you fo join the motorway, that section is lit! Seems to me that the sliproad needs to be lit too. Know it's all cost cutting, but the most dangerous part is unlit and the lesser dangerous part of the motorway has cats eyes and lit with lighting. Unsure how long this issue has been present. I would be really grateful if you could investigate this as it seems an accident waiting to happen, unfortunately. Wouldn't feel comfortable noticing, not mentioning it and a bad accident or death occur there. Ps I am a driver with good eyes and over 25 years driving experience. Thanks for your time
