| 153371 |  | Traffic speeds through the village so the speed limit needs to be reduced to 40mph at this junction to make it safer. This would also slow traffic before the 30 mph zone and White Hart junction. | Track: Problem track |
| 153370 |  | Narrow pavements and speeding traffic so there needs to be a speed awareness sign on the entrance to the village. | Track: Problem track |
| 152708 |  | This road needs to be a 20 mph zone as lots of families walk this route to school trying to avoid BlackBerry Road. This is also a rat run for parents driving children to school. | Track: Problem track |
| 152705 |  | NO right turns into Prior Way to stop this road being used as a rat run. | Temporary closure: Problem closure |
| 152704 |  | 40 mph ends at Langham Road but should carry on all the way along Severalls Lane. Or even better reduced to 30 mph given the number of residents / businesses, tight bends along these roads. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152702 |  | To promote cycling and walking these roads need to be a 20 mph area. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 152701 |  | To promote cycling and walking these roads need to be a 20 mph zone. | Track: Problem track |
| 152650 |  | Narrow pavement across bridge this could be improved by using a traffic priority narrowing of the road. Giving vehicles going up the hill priority so reducing pollution. This already happens unofficially with cars parked along the length of this road. | Track: Problem track |
| 152475 |  | There are no safe crossings of this very busy junction despite new housing going up along with schools and shops. | Track: Problem track |
| 152474 |  | These roads are used as a rat run and a 20 mph might discourage it especially with enforcement. | Track: Problem track |

| 152218 |  | There is no dropped kerb curb to allow pedestrians and cyclist to access Asda or other retailers. Or looking at it the other way there is no dropped kerb from the retail park giving access to shared use path. Which leads to the Highwoods country park, town centre avoiding North Station Road. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 151730 |  | With no footpath outside the School there should be Pedestrians walking in Road warning signs. Also the speed limit needs to be reduced to 20 mph. | Track: Problem track |

| 151618 |  | Fountain Lane is a rat run used to get to the A12 - this Junction with Easthorpe Road requires a STOP line as regularly drivers don't slow and look properly at the junction. Only this morning I nearly became a statistic. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 151409 |  | The time between pushing the crossing request button and traffic stopping needs to be reduced to allow for greater social distancing. This would also encourage more walking. | Track: Problem track |
| 151408 |  | The time from pushing the request button on the crossing needs to be reduced. To help social distancing and encourage walking. | Track: Problem track |

| 151406 |  | Potholes filled with whole bricks! Dangerous at best and lethal in the winter in the dark. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 150495 |  | Cycle parking provision - this is the only post office in the area and has no places other than street lights for locking up cycles. | Track: Problem track |
| 150176 |  | 20 mph speed limit | Track: Problem track |
| 150175 |  | Speed limit needs to be reduced from 40 mph to 30 mph for the safety of motorist as well as cyclist and joggers. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 142813 |  | Lots of cyclists use this route and with plenty of houses entrancing on a bend plus a business with HGV deliveries. The national speed limit is unsafe so the 30 mph speed limit needs to be extended to the bridge which in its self is of restricted width. | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |
| 142484 |  | The path is too narrow for both cyclists and peds. widening of the path would make this route safer and more attractive as an active travel route. There is plenty of space to easily double the size of the path | Cycleway: Problem cycleways |

| 139619 |  | Outside Tesco there are two dropped pavements & brick crossing points that are very popular to use. We just need a 20 mph speed limit to assist with the safe crossing & encourage cycling. As a note due to the large pot holes along this road traffic for the last year has been slowed to 20 mph for fear of damage to vehicles. However these pot hole pose a safety risk to people on bikes. | Track: Problem track |
