Residents living in Kirkby-in-Ashfield have said they have to "take life into their own hands" to cross a major road that runs through the town centre. The B6020 is a major route that runs from Kirkby-in-Ashfield all the way through to Rainworth and vice versa.
It runs through the centre of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, with a number of shops on its high street there, along with junctions for the train station and Ashfield District Council offices. But local residents have said they do not feel safe crossing the road because of volumes of traffic.
One resident got in touch with Nottinghamshire Live to raise concerns about the junction of the B6020 Urban Road and Lindley's Lane, saying that drivers ignore the yellow box on the road, park on both sides of the junction and that it's situated near a set of traffic lights. While there at around 9.30am on a Monday morning, cars waiting in the yellow box when they should not have were spotted, traffic backed up when the lights turned red and residents said they want to see more crossings along the road.
