Hedges have grown over the pathway

For several months have had to walk in the road to pass the hedge that has grown over the path. The hedge itself has thorns so can't walk through it. During the dark hours it was not so bad because I could look back briefly for the lights of cars approaching around the bend near Dewers Farm Cottages, but now it is lighter it is very hard to safely predict whether I am okay to walk in the road to avoid these hedges or whether a car will come around the corner while I am in the road (with my 2 dogs).
