Pulling out from The Aspens into Michaels Road is extremely difficult! It is very hard to see out of the turning without sticking out of the aspens slightly leaving you at risk of being hit as Michaels Road is 40mph road! It's hard to get out as it's a fast road and other drivers rarely let you out, if you are turning left out of the Aspens then you have a better chance of pulling out but if you choose to turn right you have no chance as seeing cars from the left is very limited and during Rush Hour you have absolutely no chance of getting out as the traffic are coming down very quickly at 40mph, when the traffic comes to a standstill as cars are waiting to pull out of the top of Stansted Road they block the road to The Aspens and no one will let you out! This also happens when you travel from Stansted Road onto Michaels Road waiting to turn right into The Aspens, you are waiting absolute ages before either the traffic clears or someone finally let's you turn causing the traffic to build up behind you and for the drivers to start to become aggressive by shouting or honking at you or revving their vehicles! This road would benefit from a keep clear sign outside of The Aspens making traffic stop and allow people to leave their road without fear of being hit by a fast vehicle!!! A Mirror opposite The Aspens would allow to see the road in both directions and not to stick out past the top of the road just to see the road in both directions clearer! There is 52 Houses located in The Aspens so there is quiet alot of vehicles in use 24 hours a day without visitors and delivery drivers

Don't think the Council care about potholes and other Road issues in Bishops Stortford, they are spending 5 million putting in unnecessary 20mph limits in roads that don't warrant them instead of looking after our roads and keeping the town clean, Bishops Stortford is looking a mess currently and no giving new people or potential new people to the area a good impression of Bishops Stortford as a place to live, such a shame!!

Still no resolution, could do with at least a keep clear box in the road, extremely dangerous and other road users keep blocking the road in traffic or give way to vehicles trying to leave The Aspens! Most drivers in Bishops Stortford are extremely uncurteius! Blocking or not stopping at a roundabout is an every day thing! They must believe that they are entitled and dont need to follow the highway code!
