At the crossroads in Newton longville on Stoke road a road closure sign is blocking the road saying access only but it is open the whole way down to the next crossroads the sign blocking the access at a busy crossroads so you have to drive into oncoming traffic to get round is dangerous
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5738567.
Southbound on the road is blocked when it shouldn’t be. Most cars are going to Stoke Hammond or left towards Newton leys at the next junction, it is dangerous to make cars drive into oncoming traffic. Especially as yesterday and today I had to do this both after 16:00 after the time to road is supposed to be open.
