Crash barrier possibly incorrectly fitted
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 9999405.
Good morning Yesterday when I was travelling on the A30 Hayle bypass West towards St Erth, I saw a section of crash barrier on the nearside of my vehicle that looked recently repaired/replaced. I would estimate it was a 1/4 of a mile East of the section of road that crosses over the railway line. It was only a quick view as we were moving in normal traffic. I believe I noticed the way the barrier was fitted was so that the following section was on top of the preceeding section not underneath it. I appreciate I only had a quick view,and I may well be wrong . The consequences of a wrongly fitted crash barrier could be fatal, as it doesn't deform and creates a potential impailing situation. I'm hoping this is the correct department to contact. If not please can you redirect or let me know so I can try another route to find the highways department Thank you
