Dangerous bend next to junction

Reported via iOS in the Roads/highways category anonymously at 12:15, Sun 24 July 2022

Sent to Leicestershire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3701907.

The bend on Grange Road too fast for majority of vehicles not to cut the corner.

It’s almost impossible to manoeuvre out of Usherwood way turning left onto Grange Road without our ensuring nothing is coming from the left as the road is not wide enough to pull out when the vehicles are over the centre line.

I have witnessed a few very near misses where they are not aware of the issue.

How Usherwood way was allowed to be tight 90 degree junction onto the very narrow Grange Road at this point is hard to understand as the vision is not great looking left and right, on two bends with most vehicles appearing quickly doing over 50mph beggars belief.

If this road was re-designated as a 30mph road this may reduce the road traffic down to mid 40s

Also to enforce a weight limit so large HGV’s do not enter the road as it’s just too narrow for the current speeds this junction to work without incident.

Can you come and witness the corner cutting. Without all the high vis jackets etc. as this does attract attention and obviously slow the traffic and tightens up peoples driving habits?

  • I know what you mean, the corner is on occasions cut so much that the car is over half way in the wrong lane 🤦🏻‍♀️ Nothing will be done now as grange road and the new estate is already built and to make grange road wider is almost impossible as the new houses are very close the grange road already
