Dangerous road caused by hedge and bend

Reported via iOS in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 22:01, Tue 5 March 2024

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council 1 minute later

Hello. A car coming from Hailey was forced to do an emergency stop as I was turning right out of Singe Wood towards Finstock. The car narrowly missed me and had it not been for the driveway to Chase Farm (where I pulled in and out of the way) there would have been a serious accident. I had 3 young children in the car. The 50mph speed limit is too high and should be reduced to 30 or 40 around the blind corner and blind hill summit where pedestrians also walk along the road to reach the pub from the woodland walks down Singe Wood. The hedge makes the situation far worse when it is overgrown in spring and summer. Thank you

Council ref: ENQ24995678
