Dead End Sign - Motspur Drive

Reported via mobile in the Damaged / Missing / Facing Wrong Way category anonymously at 13:15, Monday 17 February 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7146356.

This road has not been a through road to Studland Road for over a decade at least, yet there are still many drivers on a daily basis that drive down Motspur Drive thinking that they can go through to find that they can't.

This is an issue because the road is narrow and people that are unfamiliar with the street refuse to reverse back and attempt to turn their vehicles aroundwhich leads to them using private driveways and scraping residents' cars and driving away.

A sign indicating that it's a dead end would at least assist with reducing the amount of vehicles attempting to use Motspur Drive as a through road.
