Slippery Road Surface

Reported via desktop in the Roads and Carriageways category anonymously at 11:10, Wednesday 4 February 2026

Sent to Oxfordshire County Council less than a minute later

Over a couple recent occasions I have found the exit of the roundabout to join Harwell Link Road heading towards Didcot to be very slippery. Even in my van I felt a small loss of grip and the traction control cut in.

I suspect there may be a diesel spill or similar here and concerned that it may catch out other road users, especially motorcycles. So I think it is worth investigating before a potential accident occurs.

Council ref: ENQ261080422
