Awkward merge layout poses risk to pedestrians

Reported via desktop in the Footpath / pavement problem category anonymously at 13:10, Saturday 5 July 2025

Sent to Buckinghamshire Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7813047.

Having seen main cars speeding along here, the unnatural merge to right lane lay out has caused many near misses and some collisions. As a dog walker, I do not feel safe walking along this part. Please review and add barriers to avoid an avoidable incident.
