I think it could be joints in the road surface but there are ridges across all lanes clockwise from junction 16-18

Reported via desktop in the Road surface (NH) category by Cllr Paul How at 20:11, Thu 10 July 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7859451.

I ride a motorcycle to work every day from Watford to Heathrow The ridges across all of the lanes clockwise are very high which makes my motorcycle very unstable when you hit them, I ride an adventure bike which is made for rough terrain but i have witnessed smaller bikes getting the rider off the seat and very much out of control. This impact also causes damage to the steering bearings on the bikes. I have a lot of experience but novice riders are very much at risk Please advise Cllr Paul How Central Bedfordshire Council

Updates

  • It has been confirmed to me that the issue of the ridges are on other parts of the M25
