Fixed
Faint road markings
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 4706205.
Road markings are very faint - this is from google street view and is much worse now.
On multiple occasions over the last year, I've had to swerve into another lane because others think they're following their lane but the markings are not easy to see. Others have also had to swerve to avoid

The Road markings on Bedford Road roundabout are very faint. Almost every day there is a near miss accident due to this. Needs rectifying ASAP

I find that this is urgent. You cannot see where to go in the dark. Please change the priority of this to urgent. There will be an accident. Unless you know where to go, you are dangerous. People swerving to get in the right lane, especially when it is dark.

So based on your responce when people in the middle lane, cut off/ crash into people in the right lane because there are no visible lines when entering the roundabout; as has happened to multiple people - Northampton highways is prepared to take responsibility for the legal remifications to poor road markings i presume? The middle lane filters to the left, and the right filters to the middle but no signage or markings eludes to this constitutes a high risk of an accident, and your investigator is either incorrect or incompetant. everyone should not this; and if an accident occurs; take legal action against the council for not maintaining the road safely or correctly
-
So when two cars are going 40mph, those cars or even bikes possibly colliding due to lines being extremely faint and not visible in some weather conditions, isn’t a safety issue?
This has worsened since I first reported almost a year ago and appreciate funding is low but this is not safe. The only solution for me at the moment is to avoid lane 2
-
It’s not clear enough which Lane you need to be in when entering the roundabout and where this lane goes further down without markings
-
I had a very near miss today, as a car in the wrong lane almost swerved into my car. What are you waiting for? Does someone need to die before you fix this???

I reported this June 2023 and still hasn't been sorted...
-
Why do the timescales keep moving? Looks like a first report on this tread was June 2023. Many reports of near misses and accidents waiting to happen. Please just put the lines. it can't be that hard to action.
-
I have had so many issues with this roundabout. The anxiety of using this road is ridiculous, you never know who is where, what they are going to do until someone tries to drive into you. Ridiculous it’s been on this long.
-
Investigation: Completed (Duplicate), Defect Repair: Not Started - Thank you for your enquiry. We can confirm that we have been made aware of this issue and a works order has been raised on a routine safety inspection. The expected completion date for these works will be 26/11/2024
-
I'd just like to point out I first reported this 877 days ago and we are still waiting on this to sorted, even after the defects were found and multiple complete dates given😂
-
9/11/23 I went down there and took photos - they said it will be repaired in 12 months. They lied, they always lie.
-
I have been told by my 'wonderful' council that this is to be sorted on 18th November..........I wonder if this is another lie?
-
Think it’s about time that safety issues such as these were fixed seriously quickly before there are more accidents. The roads must be inspected at night on defects such as markings, far more dangerous at night and also in bad weather. They need REPAINTING.
There really isn’t an acceptable answer other than to just do it.
-
I use this roundabout on a daily basis, and there is a near miss incident almost every day. I first reported more than 2 years ago. What is it going to take for the Council to fix this? Does someone need to die before they do?? They are leaving themselves open to a lawsuit if someone dies because of the Council's negligence. SORT IT OUT
-
Even an MP that I wrote to approached the council and got a negative answer. I just don't get why they won't get it rectified instead of trying to avoud it. Maybe the national press need to publish how bad our local council really is, and how they hide away, and just don't care. It's shocking. They have repeatedly lied to me. Why is this not a priority????? Someone is going to get seriously hurt or die as a result of their incompetence...........
-
This needs investigating. In the last hours this was changed to "fixed", blatant cover up
-
This has not been fixed!!!
-
You state that this is fixed. No it isn't. You are lying to us all again. What are you getting out of patholigical lying. IT'S NOT FIXED, GO AND LOOK YOURSELF!!!!! Whoever updated this to fixed need investigating.
-
Investigation: Not Started (Duplicate), Defect Repair: Scheduled
-
18th November has come and gone. You told me the work was scheduled for 18th November!!!!! Another lie.....what do you get out of misleading the public. Why do you keep lying to us???????

Hi all,
As the initial reporter of this, I’m pleased to say this has finally been completed!
This took 883 days to be completed but it’s done!
All the best, Matty

Thank you for the update Matty. Over 800 days shockingly poor service from our council.....
-
Big question is…..did they fill the potholes at the same time and same location….
We should start a “RoadWatch” and let’s get the best roads in the UK…. We deserve them and after all the Reform led Council said they would fix everything and lower the Council Tax bills at the same time….impressive if they do it!
-
Pot holes filled at the same time as putting white lines down???? That's a big ask, I wonder.....
