Kerb extension both sides of the road
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6827598.
1st Reported on the 26th of November. Not heard anything back from a relevant person concerning this issue.
Since this kerb extension on both sides of the road has gone up it has caused me issues on 3 occasions. With buses having to negotiate the slalom type kerb extension and cars having to reverse back to let the bus through. The car infront nearly reversed into me.
A car coming up the hill nearly crashed into me as it wasn't stopping as I was going through and then horned at me even though I was fully on my side to get through.
As cars are going up the hill it is hard to see anything coming down as the cars in front are blocking the view. When you are coming up the hill the cars from the top do not give you enough space to get back into your own lane as they keep on crawling forward. There are also cars park on the left which make it a narrow passing place.
The cars from the top have the right of way and start beeping their horns and causing Road rage.
Plus their is also lack of lighting in this area.
I believe these kerb extension need to be completely removed from both or atleast 1 side to avoid potential crashes and road rage incidents.
I look forward to your reply.

This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any markings that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already be aware of this issue and have raised a job to have them refreshed if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.
If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works to be carried out at a later date.
Please note, the ambient temperature drops, and the air becomes much more humid during the winter months and materials won’t bond with the surface when it’s wet, defeating the purpose of applying them at all. Adding markings to a wet surface will essentially mean they become diluted. The moisture present on the road and also in the air will affect the finished quality of the markings, impacting their appearance and longevity, for this reason we only refresh road markings during winter months if there is a specific safety issue.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
