Petitioners are celebrating after Northumberland County Council agreed to take action on a stretch of the Military Road that has seen 19 accidents over a three-year period.
The council commissioned a report after residents living on the 15km stretch of the road between the A68 roundabout and Heddon-on-the-Wall said there was urgent need for safety improvements.
A total of 179 people signed the petition, which requested reduced speed limits, improved signage and road markings as well as a restriction on HGV and quarry wagons.
