Growth severely blocking view

Reported via mobile in the Overgrown or obscuring view (NH) category anonymously at 17:03, Wednesday 11 June 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7695269.

Coming off M62 towards services and A162. Looking right the view of traffic coming round the island is severely blocked by tall vegetation. I drive a Nissan Qashqai and sit quite high on the road. I could not see a small Picanto car approaching as it was totally obscured behind the tall weeds. I had to brake hard and the vehicle behind me came close to shunting me. It is now very dangerous and likely to cause an accident soon.

Updates

  • Thank you for making your report.

    We can advise that the vegetation on this slip road is cut six times per year and the next cut is due in July.

    However, we have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue on safety grounds.

    Should cutting be required, we will arrange for this to happen, and we will also consider whether the frequency of cutting needs to be adjusted.

    Kind regards
    National Highways
