Tyres on side of the road throughout the A38 both lanes

Reported via desktop in the Pavement/footpath/cycleway/bridleway issue (NH) category anonymously at 15:35, Sun 27 April 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7488374.

Location: A38, Northbound and Southbound carriageways, between Birmingham and Derby.

Details: Multiple tyres have been observed along the A38 route, both on the roadside verge and within the central reservation. The locations are spread intermittently along the route, posing a potential hazard to road users.

Specific Observations: • Tyres located on hard shoulders and verges. • Several tyres in the central reservation, some near the fast lane barriers. • No immediate obstruction to live lanes at this time, but potential risk if tyres shift or if drivers are distracted.

Updates

  • I would like to add that I observed the situation over an hour ago. At the time so regarding immediate obstruction I cannot confirm the current status.

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    If any work is needed, they will arrange for this to happen. Should no immediate work be required we will continue to monitor this during our regular inspections.

    Although we always aim to complete repairs as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards National Highways
