Dangerous bridge

Reported via desktop in the Road Markings category by Cllr Emma Markham at 15:31, Monday 10 November 2025 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8399807.

This bridge over the river urgently needs new road markings, road signs and hedge trimming to improve visibility. Numerous close-call accidents have been reported to the local parish council on this bridge. It is on an bend and incline surrounded by hedges and is not wide enough, so it needs clear priority signs and road markings, and advanced warning signs before you reach the bridge, so you can slow down. It could also benefit from a reduce speed limit as well, as it is not wide enough for cars traveling in opposite directions to pass each other. Please can this be addressed urgently.

Council ref: ENQ251064101
