Traffic lights needed at narrow bridge, Curbridge
Traffic lights need to be installed by the bridge and would allow all vehicles including HGV’s to safely proceed across the bridge without hazard to oncoming traffic.
Why is this important?
The speed limit on this section of the A3051 Botley Road by the Horse & Jockey pub at Curbridge, near Botley, Hants is 40 mph.
The narrow width of the bridge causes a serious hazard to vehicles when they round the bend approaching it and find an HGV straddling the centre of the bridge.
Crossing the bridge for motorists and cyclists using this route has become particularly dangerous. The new development of North Whiteley is partly responsible for a significant increase in the number of the HGV’s using this road.
A recent 10 hour tally we carried out showed over 6,704 vehicles plus 263 HGV's used the bridge.
We need to bring this to the attention of Hampshire County Council in order that action is taken to prevent a serious accident or worse a fatality.
