West Sussex Public Consultation on A259 Improvements.

Comments

#601

This corner has extremely bad visabilty in both directions , there isn't a clear view of the road as you exit to the right and you can easily miss judge the corner. People are driving too fast and ignore speed limits. In top of all this there is likely further housing being planned which will increase the use of the road. Act now.

As a daily user of this junction it seems like I am taking my life in my own hands and got even worse since the so called improvements. We need traffic lights they seem to work when they were temporarily there when the were improving comet corner.

Junction is dangerous

(Bognor regis, 2019-10-27)

#604

This junction is so dangerous, unfortunately I have to cross it daily and witness so many near misses

(Middleton on Sea, 2019-10-27)

#605

Something needs to done with this dangerous junction!

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-27)

#606

I’m signing as I live in Yapton for over 40 years and have seen an increase of accidents at this junction and have been saying for years that something needs to be done on theses junctions into Yapton and Middleton

(Arundel, 2019-10-27)

#607

I use this junction every day and it is treacherous

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-27)

#608

There are so many accidents on this corner.
And with more and more housing the problem is becoming worse

(Arundel, 2019-10-27)

#611

There are continually accidents at the junction, resulting in serious injury and fatalities. The traffic is too fast and traffic lights are needed quickly to sort this out before more people are killed.

(BOGNOR REGIS, 2019-10-27)

#614

I agree that this junction is so dangerous. It is an accident waiting to happen. I think it's a right turn West to Chichester and East to Littlehampton.

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-28)

#618

It’s a dangerous junction and a serious accident will occur. My elderly parents are residents of Middleton on sea and do not use this junction because it has poor visibility and a high volume of speeding traffic.

(Ifold, 2019-10-28)

#620

I’m signing because it is an awful junction to get out of and so dangerous, that I try my hardest not to have to use it!

(Bognor regis, 2019-10-28)

#622

I have lived in Felpham , Middleton on a Sea over 50 yrs many many accidents some fatal and yet due to money many people's lives have been ruined . Time to act !!!

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-28)

#623

I have witnessed too many accidents at this junction and have to use it myself regularly, it is so difficult to turn right out of Middleton and Yapton. Surely traffic lights would keep traffic flowing safely.

(Middleton on Sea, 2019-10-28)

#626

I have both a family member and a friend have an accident here at this junction. It's been a dangerous junction even before all the traffic problem we now have in the south. This really does need to be addressed...

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-29)

#630

We know a young person who bikes this way on their way to school and it is a dangerous junction .

(Lancing, 2019-10-30)

#634

This has increasingly become a very dangerous junction, and needs to be modified, either by traffic lights, or a roundabout.

(Barnham, 2019-10-30)

#635

As a resident of Climping and a bus driver for Stagecoach I can assure this junction is very dangerous. Most of the times we have to wait several minutes to cross it in a safe way. A round about would be the best and safest solution to make this junction more safe. Also the junction at the Oystercatchers Inn can be marked as dangerous!!

(Climping, 2019-10-30)

#636

It is a very dangerous junction and I know of several drivers who have had near misses including myself especially if leaving the Yapton exit turning right and then left to go to Middleton, the road markings are confusing especially at dusk and at night. Please do something about this junction before someone is killed or badly injured.

(Bognor Regis, 2019-10-30)

#637

I am signing because there have been fatalities at this junction and as the traffic continues to increase there is a continued risk to life.

(Climping, 2019-10-30)

#640

In the past 16 years of being a local resident, I believe Comet Corner is more dangerous than ever since the completion of the A259 bypass plus the modifications to the corner have only encouraged vehicles to increase their speed, taking little heed of speed restrictions. Queues and waiting time have significantly increased and using the junction can be very stressful for some older residents.

(Bognor Regis, 2019-11-03)

#642

I use this junction every day to take my daughter to and from school.

(Bognor regis, 2019-11-06)

#643

Comet corner is a death trap!
Millions were spent on a ludicrous cycle path were the occasional cyclist is exposed to high levels of pollution.comet will kill!

(Bognor regis, 2019-11-08)

#644

I live right near Comet Corner, and cross this junction on foot at least twice a day.
There needs to be lights there.
There is poor visability, no signs warning motorists of pedestrians or cyclists crossing the road.
The amount of near misses I see, and yes I have witnessed an accident.
Too much going on in one place.

(Bognor Regis, 2019-11-12)

#645

I totally support the concerns expressed in the text of this petition plus I would have thought this critical road safety improvement would have been deemed essential when developing the very recent, highly expensive and little used cycleway and should have been included in that development.

(Yapton, 2019-11-16)

#650

I'm signing because I use the junction frequently and I am convinced that there will be a fatal accident there very soon due to the volume of traffic (soon due to increase because of housing developments) and the speed of the cars on the A259.

(Yapton, Arundel, 2019-11-21)

#652

I am signing this because I dread using this junction . I have seen accidents, near hits and driver frustration. I have to leave early to allow 10 minutes to get over this junction at certain times of the day. It has got worse following recent improvements

(Arundel, 2019-11-21)

#654

this is an extremely dangerous junction, and yes it was made even worse with the last modifications. You definitely need traffic lights or a roundabout here.

(bognor regis, 2019-11-21)

#658

I’m signing this because it is such a dangerous junction. Half the cars coming out of either are going straight over and the other half turning right. It needs an off round roundabout or traffic lights. So many near misses....

(Yapton, 2019-11-21)

#660

I live in yapton and this road is dangerous, no time to pull out because of fast moving traffic, road in need of repair, and at peak times the traffic is heavy

(Yapton, 2019-11-22)

#662

It is the most dangerous crossing I’ve ever known

(Yapton, 2019-11-22)

#663

This is notoriously a dangerous junction, I go miles out of my way to avoid using it. You can sit at the junction for upto 10 minutes, waiting to get out, and then it's at a risk. Traffic lights would be much better.

(Bognor regis, 2019-11-22)

#665

I live about 800yds from this junction, and accidents are now very common. It is extremely busy and dangerous with drivers taking unnecessary risks

(Middleton, 2019-11-22)

#667

That turning is dangerous. It's always backed up and people's impatience causes them to make poor/dangerous turning decisions.

(Yapton, 2019-11-22)

#669

I live in Yapton and agree that this needs to change

(Yapton, 2019-11-22)

#670

This junction is extremely dangerous & I avoid it at peak times due the time taken to pull out safely.

(Arundel, 2019-11-22)

#671

I live local to this junction and use the road on a daily basis, it’s dangerous and people will risk their life and the lives of others just to pull out.

(Climping, 2019-11-22)

#673

Very dangerous road layout

(Uckfield, 2019-11-22)

#675

I’m signing because this junction is dangerous. It needs a roundabout put in to make It safer.

(Arundel, 2019-11-22)

#678

It's dangerous trying to pull out across one lane into fast traffic

(Yapton, 2019-11-22)

#681

I travel along this road everyday and see so many near misses it is so dangerous

(Bognor Regis, 2019-11-22)

#682

Im signing because this junction is horrendous. I have to go to the roundabout by littlehampton to avoid the junction going to bognor. It's dangerous. It's ridiculous that there aren't lights there or a roundabout already!

(Arundel, 2019-11-22)

#683

This junction is horrendous to turn right, fast moving traffic in both directions on a busy road with very little time to cross both lanes and turn into a slip road. Ridiculous especially when the sun is shining in direct line of the road.

(Felpham, 2019-11-23)

#687

How many accidents do we need before someone wakes up and puts a roundabout there or speed cameras not just slow down signs. Traffic light maybe. It's a nightnare trying to get across the road. It's going to get worse with all the new houses in the area. Should have been done when they changed the layout. What a waste of money and time.

(Yapton, 2019-11-23)

#688

It is so dangerous and something needs to be done about this.

(Bognor Regis, 2019-11-23)

#690

This junction is ridiculous and lethal. I hold my breath & pray every time I use it.

(Yapton, 2019-11-24)

#692

The junction is horribly dangerous and it's a matter of time before someone is killed or seriously injured.

(Yapton Arundel, 2019-11-24)

#693

This junction needs 2 roundabouts to make it safe. There is enough room to do so.

(Yapton, 2019-11-24)

#694

I live in Yapton & I'm sick of being late for work because the buses can't get out of the junction.

(Arundel, 2019-11-24)

#696

I use this junction twice a day and it is very dangerous. A lot of money was spent on the cycle lane which is hardly used but nothing on this junction. If nothing is done, there will be a dreadful accident.

(Yapton BN18 0HU, 2019-11-24)

#697

It is only a matter of time before a serious accident occurs. Frustration of waiting an eternity to make the turn leads to drivers taking dangerous risks.

(Arundel, 2019-11-24)

#699

I use this junction when I come back to Yapton and hate it and always have.It is so dangerous.

(YEOVIL, 2019-11-24)

#701

Something needs to be done

(Middleton-on-Sea, 2019-11-25)

#703

Comet corner is becoming a very dangerous road to cross with increasingly heavy traffic taking no notice of speed signs. Action needed before any more accidents occur

(Bognor regis, 2019-11-27)

#704

Land is available in the adjacent field (did have horses - currently abandoned)to make this a longabout which will reduce speed and allow access.

(BOGNOR REGIS, 2019-11-29)

#708

I’m signing this petition because something needs to be done. The council are waiting for somebody to become disabled from this junction, have brain damage or in matter of fact the worse and wait for somebody to be killed until they do something. How is this right in any shape of the world. It’s a disgrace.

(yapton, 2019-12-23)

#711

This junction is so dangerous it needs to be sorted and with all the new housing estates being built in yapton it’s only going to get worse crossing the road

(Yapton, 2020-01-13)

#712

I’m signing because it so dangerous

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#713

It’s dangerous, and to many accidents

(West Sussex, 2020-01-13)

#714

So dangerous I travel this every day. People risking their lives crossing or pulling out due to continuous flow of traffic increased population due to massive house building within the area especially at peak time. Also people not using cycle path and today a pedestrian running with the traffic. Hi Vis jacket is not going to protect you if a car ,lorry or bike misjudges or speeds!!!!!!!!!
Roundabout pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-13)

#716

I use this junction on average around 6 times a day.. I take my life in my hands everyday.
Will it take a large loss of life to get something done! A roundabout was installed in Felpham very quickly and that was nowhere near as dangerous!

(Middleton on sea, 2020-01-13)

#717

I grew up in MoS and still visit monthly and this junction has grown gradually worse. Like many people, I avoid Comet Corner by bypassing and driving thru Flansham Pk, perhaps why the road thru that Estate is so badly damaged too now. This situation needs urgent attention.

(Croydon, 2020-01-13)

#718

This road is dangerous and should have been completed with either traffic lights or a roundabout ages ago. The amount of traffic and accidents at this junction, just shows how the ‘improvements’ have not helped this dangerous junction at all.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#721

This stretch of road has always been a safety lottery! Needs sorting now!!!!😡

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#722

This is such a dangerous junction something needs to be done about it

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#725

This junction is dangerous - the work carried out a couple of years ago has not improved the safety of this junction - too many people have been injured and died here - something needs to be done before another accident

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#728

It is a dangerous stretch of road with a 50 speed limit!Too many accidents there already.

(bognor Regis, 2020-01-13)

#731

I'm signing because i often come that way because is where my brother's family lives , i did several time that road and i found it quite dengerous so that is why i m advicing a roundabout ,hanks Andrea.

(Bologna, 2020-01-13)

#732

The speed limits are too fast and the junction is too busy with too many variables. The volume of traffic often makes it very difficult and potentially dangerous to leave the Middleton-on-Sea exit at Comet Corner and from Bilsham Road.

(Middleton-on-Sea, 2020-01-13)

#736

I’ve just lost one friend at a dangerous crossing please act before another fatal accident happens, the new layout at this junction doe Not make it any safer !

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#738

I have used this road coming out of Middleton for years and it’s getting more and more dangerous. It’s probably going to change AFTER someone gets killed!!!!!

(Bognor, 2020-01-14)

#741

This is a dangerous junction which will only become more so in the future. I have to use it often. There are changes which can be made to increase safety and they should be given priority.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#742

This need to be fix ASAP

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-14)

#743

It’s time something was done with this dangerous road there have been far to many accidents

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#744

I use this road and frequently see near misses.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#745

This is a terrible junction noticeably at peak periods. The so called improvements made recently are a waste of money which should have been spent doing it properly in the first place. It needs traffic lights or better still a roundabout. Please don't wait for numerous fatalities before acting WSCC!

(Middleton on Sea, 2020-01-14)

#746

This dangerous junction needs a roundabout and a lower speed limit!

(Middleton-on-Sea, 2020-01-14)

#747

I travel this route daily, so dangerous when trying to get too and from Elmer!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#749

I have seen so many accidents - fatal and otherwise - at this junction and it is very difficult to exit Yapton Road to cross the A259.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#751

I have been concerned for many years about how dangerous the junction is. I was horrified about how inadequate the recent WSCC developments were, whoever designed those did not take into account all the past problems

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#752

Very dangerous crossing.Needs roundabout/traffic lights.

(Felpham, 2020-01-14)

#754

Comet Corner is an accident waiting to happen
It’s a very dangerous and is getting worse

(Bognor, 2020-01-14)

#755

Comet corner is extremely dangerous

(Bognor, 2020-01-14)

#756

I'm signing because Comet Corner needs remedial action

(Middleton-on-Sea, 2020-01-14)

#759

I live near here. Every single day I use this rd. it is so dangerous.
Taking your life in your own hands.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#760

The corner is terribly dangerous.

(Felpham, 2020-01-14)

#761

This junction is dangerous and needs improving before anyone else dies

(BOGNOR REGIS, 2020-01-14)

#762

This junction is so dangerous. Too many innocent lives lost!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#764

It is such a dangerous corner there are incidents there nearly every week. Last week my wife was involved in an accident with a motorcycle at comet corner

(Middleton on sea, 2020-01-14)

#768

I've lived most of my life in and around Chichester and I used this junction most days whilst working in Bognor Regis as a nurse. I agree that some form of traffic control is needed at this junction.

(St Austell, cornwall, 2020-01-14)

#769

My children cross here and it’s so dangerous....I fear for my family every time we go out. Quite often we go all the way to Flansham just to get a safer route into A259

(Elmer, 2020-01-14)

#770

This has been an accident black spot for years. I’ve witnessed first hand a horrendous motorcycle accident at this junction. It should have been sorted by now!!!

(Felpham, 2020-01-14)

#771

I'm signing this petition as I have seen first hand the devastation that has been caused by this junction. How many more lives have to be changed from this dangerous junction before something will be done.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#775

The junction is dangerous.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#776

I'm signing this petition as it affects my everyday commute. I find this junction extremely dangerous.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-14)

#779

Despite an awful lot of money being spent, this junction has not been improved. We need either traffic lights or a roundabout before there are more fatalities

(Middleton on Sea, 2020-01-14)

#780

I live in yapton and have to use this junction around 6 times a day with my two young boys and it makes me nervous every time.

(Yapton, 2020-01-14)

#781

I do not want anyone else to suffer or have an accident here. At the very least the speed limit should be reduced to 30mph but ideally a roundabout should be put in as soon as possible .

(BOGNOR REGIS ELMER, 2020-01-14)

#782

This road is a nightmare when trying to turn , either from yapton to bognor or felpham to littlehampton . I believe there have already been some accidents , more local housing will also put even more pressure on this area

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-14)

#783

I use this junction a lot
It’s so dangerous and scary it needs a roundabout or better still traffic light system

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-14)

#785

This junction even after the road layout has been changed is still horrendously dangerous
IT NEEDS A ROUNDABOUT URGENTLY the money already spent on road improvements was totally wasted
GET IT SORTED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-14)

#787

This is a dangerous junction , an accident waiting to happen , I drive all the way round Bognor now to avoid this and queues , someone actually overtook me from the yapton side junction into main road as hot so impatient nearly hit me and a cyclist !! Put traffic lights in safer for all!

(Eastergate, 2020-01-14)

#788

I have used this junction for 20 years when i lived in middleton and it has just got More dangerous over the years along with seeing loads of accidents over the period. I feel a rounderbout would be preferable to keep the traffic moving. Traffic lights will cause traffic to build up waiting for the lights to change

(Arundel, 2020-01-14)

#790

I live local and use the junction several times a day. The junction is dangerous and recent improvements have had no effect.

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-14)

#798

I use this road on a daily basis and have had many a near miss with cars pulling out from either junction. I could never understand why a roundabout or lights were not installed the same time as the cycle path .

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-15)

#799

The junction needs a roundabout before someone else is killed

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#800

I'm too scared to take this road as it is extremely dangerous

(Barnham, 2020-01-15)
