As a.local resident we have been aware of sooo many incidents here, this is a junction that we use ourselves regularly. How many people need to die or become seriously injured before something is done?!?!

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-15)

#803

This is an awfully dangerous junction with nasty accidents a regular occurrence. A round about is clearly needed here, or traffic lights.

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-15)

#804

its a death trap and a death waiting to happen !!! please make this a priotity before more people are seriously injured or killed

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#806

I’ve lived in Bognor & Felpham all my life. That junction has always been a dangerous spot but it is getting more and more ridiculous. The traffic calming/controlling features put in place, simply are not working. Something has to be done.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#810

I use this junction a lot as I’m local to the area for work and school runs. It’s a nightmare to get across

(Bognor, 2020-01-15)

#811

There is almost never a ‘safe’ time to pull out!

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-15)

#812

That is so dangerous there

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-15)

#817

This is such a dangerous junction and you take a risk every time you use it.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#823

I live in Middleton on sea and I agree

(Middleton on sea PO22 7ry, 2020-01-15)

#826

People need to stop dying at this junction

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#831

I live in ELMER AND THIS JUNCTION IS DANGEROUS

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#834

I use that crossing regularly, I find it extremely dangerous at peak times

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-15)

#837

Too many people have had accidents here over many years. I have to cross every week to get my son to Swimming and it’s dangerous and very frightening. You have a reduculious new round about in felpham which wasn't needed as no one has been killed there. But Commets Corner yoh do nothing to protect us local public or visitors going to climping. Please address this

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#838

This junction is so dangerous. The recent slip road alleviates traffic slowing on the a259 however in my opinion it makes it more difficult to get out from the Middleton junction. Surely traffic lights are the only safe solution?

(Rustington, 2020-01-15)

#840

Fed up with the accidents and do not want to wait till someone dies

(Elmersands, 2020-01-15)

#841

I lived in Middleton on Sea for 27 years and Comet Corner was the bane of our lives. Dangerous to say the least. Several accidents whilst we lived there but nothing done about it. A simple roundabout would cure this, just as it did at the southern end of Ford Lane.

(St Hilaire des Loges, 2020-01-15)

#842

I use the junction regularly as do friends and is extremely dangerous and the changes made to the junction have not improved it at all.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#843

This junction is getting increasingly dangerous and the Council wasted thousands of pounds on a deceleration lane which was not what the problem was. There is a natural roundabout already there if they adapted the road around the horse field to the left of the picture shown.

(Middleton-on-Sea, 2020-01-15)

#844

Its dangerous

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-15)

#848

I use this junction every day and it is the worst junction and has got even more dangerous since the supposed improvements. On one occasion I had to sit at the junction for a few minutes and I saw at least 5 potential accidents. We need a roundabout or traffic lights and the speed limit down to 30.

(Elmer Sands, Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#849

There are too many accidents here. I fear for my life every time I have to use this junction (daily ). It is long overdue and lack of funds is no excuse!! This is the lives of our loved ones and community at stake, do something NOW !

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#850

This is a very busy and dangerous junction and the amount of traffic trying to exit either from Yapton or Middleton onto the A259 is increasing year by year.
Money was wasted on the previous work done on this junction, whereas if a roundabout had been installed in the first place then traffic would keep moving from all directions

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#852

Been so many bad accidents over the years.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#853

Too many accidents here & it’s very dangerous

(Felpham, 2020-01-15)

#856

The place is dangerous

(Felpham, 2020-01-15)

#857

This junction needs to be light or roundabout before anymore housing, it is a nightmare junction

(Barnham, 2020-01-15)

#858

This junction is lethal

(Arundel, 2020-01-15)

#860

lifes need to be safe

(bognor regis, 2020-01-15)

#862

This awful junction affects everyone who passes it. There is plenty of room to put a roundabout and recent efforts to improve it failed, wasting time and a lot of money. It needs fixing, urgently.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#864

This is an extremely dangerous junction

(Elmer Sands, 2020-01-15)

#866

It's so dangerous

(Barnham, 2020-01-15)

#868

This junction is killing residents. Terrible safety record

(Yapton, 2020-01-15)

#869

Since new bridge by Felpham been built this has made an already bad junction, even worse.

(Barnham, 2020-01-15)

#871

I often use this junction

(Bognor, 2020-01-15)

#875

So many accidents happen at this junction it's time the council do the right thing and sort it out !!
Before more people loose their lives .

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#877

I hate using this junction as it is currently

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#878

It really needs a proper solution....A roundabout or traffic lights 🚦...

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-15)

#880

this junction needs seriously sorting out so dangerous.

(Middleton-on-sea, 2020-01-15)

#882

Dangerous traffic congestion. Always wondered who thought it a good idea to allow heavy traffic to cross or merge onto a road with vehicles travelling at high speed without any control measures in place.

(Felpham, 2020-01-15)

#883

This junction is a huge problem, I don’t understand how anyone thought they had improved it

(Felpham, 2020-01-15)

#884

It’s Dangerous

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-16)

#885

I have lived in flansham lane for over 50 years and it is getting worse to use this junction. I personally use a different route

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-16)

#888

I use this road on a daily basis and it really is a nasty dangerous road to use

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#890

I use this junction every day. It’s so dangerous even at quiet times of the day.
There must be something that can be done to make it better.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#892

It’s dangerous don’t wait for a fatality

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#894

This road needs drastically changing & altering.. Pull your fingers out & do something ASAP

(Felpham, 2020-01-16)

#899

This junction needs sorting out as it is so dangerous

(Yapton, 2020-01-16)

#901

This junction is dangerous, hazardous and frightening - especially in foggy, wet conditions

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#902

I use this junction regularly as a delivery driver and witness near misses on a daily basis. This junction is very dangerous and a massive pile up waiting to happen.

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-16)

#903

I have to use this junction daily and it is so dangerous. The traffic races past and you seriously have to gamble to get out. Something seriously has to be done!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#904

In the five years I have lived in Felpham I am shocked at just how often there are accidents here, sadly many of them fatal.

(Felpham, 2020-01-16)

#908

I have to try and get across this road at comit corner most days

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#909

Too many people have been killed or maimed at the comet corner junction. It is a very scary place for new drivers and the elderly to have to pull out of.

(Bognor regis, 2020-01-16)

#910

I live in Bilsham lane and yes this junction is very busy and dangerous. So many accidents every month.

(Arundel, 2020-01-16)

#912

Too many accidents still happen here despite the recent 'improvements' made it's truly dangerous.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#913

I’m a community care worker and have trouble getting out of there coz other road users don’t stick to the speed, limit something needs to be done before someone gets killed

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#916

Comet corner is a very dangerous junction. The recent alterations have done little to improve traffic flow and safety

(Middleton-on-Xea, 2020-01-16)

#917

This road junction is extremely dangerous and the site of fatal accidents in the past.

(West Meads Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#919

Somebody is going to die.

(Middleton Pn Sea, 2020-01-16)

#924

I’m signing because I for one am fed up to the back teeth of local cancels placing sticking plaster solutions over dangerous road issues

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#927

Comet corner has always been a nightmare and as the years go by it gets worse. Definitely need a roundabout there!

(Elmer sands, 2020-01-16)

#928

Nothing will get done until someone gets hurt or killed, we are tax payers this is what we want. If anyone is killed I'm looking at manslaughter charges

(Yapton,, 2020-01-16)

#931

I use this route for work and it’s so dangerous

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#932

This junction is a death trap. During morning and evening rush hours especially you take your life in your hands exiting from Yapton Road both sides of the A259. Too many accidents. Even slowing traffic speed on A259 wont allow safe exit onto the road there arent enough gaps in the traffic people never exit safely. Traffic lights would work well giving safe exit. The traffic cant go anywhere during busy times anyway so a stop at lights would be perfect and give a break further up the road at the Ford Road Church Lane exit giving that traffic a safer exit time too.

(Arundel, 2020-01-16)

#933

I use this junction when I take my children to school. The queues back up and the pressure to pull out from the cars behind is huge. Cars travel at ridiculous speeds and it can be difficult to gauge their speed especially at night or bad weather.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#934

This is a very dangerous junction and needs to be made safer. Traffic lights or roundabout would make it safer.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-16)

#936

I live right near this road and it’s a death trap!!! I’ve had near misses from other drivers and my son is about to learn to drive and it’s terrifying!!! Please please change it!!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#940

I use the junction most days with my two daughters in the car. It is so dangerous.

(West sussex, 2020-01-17)

#943

I am a frequent user of this treacherous road and junction

(Chichester, 2020-01-17)

#945

Signing because it is absolutely dangerous. To much going on all in one junction. I had to swerve the other day as a car pulled out in front of me. Not safe atall

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#947

So many accidents occur here. This road is dangerous and the improvements that were made have made very little difference

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#948

This is an horrendous junction, it needs sorting once and for all.

(Fontwell, 2020-01-17)

#950

This junction is so dangerous not only to pull out of but also to drive past. A roundabout or traffic lights would be much safer.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#953

Every time I always think that a roundabout would be much safer,the traffic would slow down a little but everyone should then be able to safely negotiate their journeys in whichever direction,I don’t feel traffic lights are the answer in this location.Possibly make the field on the eastern side of the road opposite comet cottage part of the roundabout.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#954

It’s so dangerous, pulling across that road is a daily nightmare

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#958

This junction needs to be improved for safety reasons. The recent upgrade has made it more dangerous and a faster stretch of road

(Elmer Sands, 2020-01-17)

#959

I live here and I agree this road is treacherous!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#961

Siince moviing yo yspton 7 months ago... seen 2 serious accidents.. and slmost had one myself right at this junction. Something HAS to be done
. Even the most experienced driver has diff getting out onto main road from bilsham... extremely dangerous... wont belong before another serious accident or loss of life!!!!!!

(West sussex, 2020-01-17)

#964

Turning in and out of Yapton Road and Middleton and Elmer Road is highly dangerous due to the speed and volume of traffic at this dog leg junction. It is only a matter of time before another serious accident happens.

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-17)

#965

There are two many Accidents there.!

(Bognor Regis Maeyann, 2020-01-17)

#967

This is a very dangerous junction. What was this not addressed the first time round?

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-18)

#968

This junction is so dangerous I have to avoid it by driving a longer way round . It is ridiculous that it is left waiting for more accidents to happen

(Middleton on sea, 2020-01-18)

#973

This junction is one of most dangerous in the county. Since the start of the year there has already been 2 accidents.

(Middleton On Sea, 2020-01-18)

#976

I know too many people that have had accidents here...family included

(Middleton, 2020-01-18)

#980

This junction has seen many serious accidents and needs to be made safe

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-18)

#986

The road is a danger. A roundabout should of been put in here years ago. Constant game of chicken trying to get across the road.

(Po22 6jq, 2020-01-19)

#987

I use this road most days to take daughter to school and totally agree with the statement it really needs to get something better there as getting more dangerous

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-19)

#988

I have to try and get out of this junction frequently and it’s dangerous. We need to sort this out before an accident happens.
Thank you

(Walberton, 2020-01-19)

#990

This is an extremely busy and dangerous junction to get out off it has needed a roundabout for many years couldn’t believe when they widened the road without putting in the roundabout which was the more pressing job that should have been done

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-20)

#992

There have been many accidents here. I know a few friends who have lost their lives due to the speed and it is a blind corner.

(bognor regis, 2020-01-20)

#993

The road layout is a night mare & dangerous to get out of junctions no matter where your coming from / going too. Needs sorting, the council plans have made it worse not better. Needs a round about in there.

(Felpham, 2020-01-20)

#995

I sincerely believe that this is a dangerous junction, I have family who regularly traverse this hazard. I want then to be safer than this. I will drive out of my way (if I have time) to avoid this particular black spot. Everyone local knows it's dangerous. My daughter is a very competent recently qualified driver, however, it is a constant concern that she has to negotiate this junction. There have been many petitions and out cry from local residents saying that this is an unnecessary risk to life. Demonstrably, sadly, there have been tragic fatalities, a pointless waste of life.
We had a roundabout thrust upon us at the top of Summerley Lane which wasnt a priority and has in fact, through poor visibility, made that stretch of road worse.
Why on earth haven't the elected done something about Comet Corner, which has been a hazard for 3 or 4 decades, likely longer?!

(Bognor Regis, 2020-01-21)

#996

It’s to dangerous!! Needs to be sorted once and for all.

(Middleton on sea, 2020-01-21)

#998

Im signing because i use conet corner junction every day and have near misses regularly

(Littlehampton, 2020-01-21)

#999

I live in Middleton-on-Sea and am signing because there have been many accidents at this dangerous corner. Other villages get improvements but not us. Please sign too. Thank you Elmer Sands Residents for organising this petition.
