Safety Note*
We
need to raise awareness of the crossroads at the junction with B3135 /
B3134. This would be known as Plummers
Lane (Point 5 on map below but ID No. 10 on Risk Assessment). This location is currently being looked into
by Police, and other agencies, due to the fatal collisions which are occurring
here. Riders must not go wide when
exiting left onto that junction,
and they must keep to their side of the road.
Accredited Marshalls need to be aware of the speed of traffic using this
road, in particular motorcycles.
