Pls behave.. wit luv x
It’s used as a rat-run by cars coming into Newport from the downs to avoid the Staplers/Coppins snarl-ups.
20 Mph Roads will solve the problem
Idiot no need for 20 mph just drive properly simple
Used it about 30 years ago, don’t any more, too many idiots who thought they could do more than 20 mph along it.
Its probably like Betty Haunt Lane overgrown and blocking good visibility.
The roads and hedges are now so overgrown its not surprising there are accidents.
You just cant pull into the side anymore either as there are hidden posts.
Another fail for the Isle of Wight.
