A46 crossroads labelled 'a death waiting to happen' as calls for change made

Drivers say a crossroads on the A46 is so dangerous it is only a matter of time before someone is killed. Most who took part in a survey conducted by a concerned local councillor admit they do not feel safe whenever they use the busy junction, between the villages of Seagrave and Thrussington.

The junction has been notorious among locals for some years due to its design and the speed of vehicles on the A46. Leicester City Football Club made some changes to the crossing last year as part of the conditions of the planning permission for its training ground nearby, which was expected to add to the amount of traffic in the area.

However, more than 1,000 drivers have responded to the survey about the design of the junction and they believe further work is required. And 97 percent of those who took part said they feel unsafe while using the crossing, while 80 percent said they have had a 'dangerous experience', Leicestershire Live reports.
