Cars parked on the road

I would like to highlight a problem our road is experiencing for as long as I can remember, Getting out of our road onto Papist way is a task that is very dangerous as with cars parked on the road side visibility is very limited. The road has 15 houses and we all have concerns about this problem. Could we have installed a set of mirrors onto a lamp post opposite our road so as to assist in the visibility of oncoming traffic. The cost I do not think is prohibitive as the lamp post is already in place and the mirrors could be attached to it.

We are reviewing old information on Fix My Street and please accept our apologies for the delay in response. The county do not provide or support the use of road mirrors on the highway as, amongst other things, the image they provide can be misleading in terms of vehicle speed and distance giving drivers a false sense of security, potentially leading to vehicles emerging injudiciously. In an attempt to assist we have, since your report, installed some white line, junction protection markings which we hope may assist.
