Prominent raised lines in road surface

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9749716.
On return from work yesterday by motorbike I observed 2 raised lines in the tarmac that were 20-30m long. These present a major hazard to 2wheeled vehicles because they could deflect the unwary rider into the path of other vehicles or worse unseat the rider/dropping the bike.

They are in the general direction of travel but are almost invisible until you are on them. The bike deflection is a real risk during the day. They will be invisible at night. May I recommend you prioritise these as a matter of urgency. They are somewhere in the 40 mph restriction zone but before the Worthies Volvo garage bridge. They should be obvious in daylight.

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.
