Sharp exposed concrete leading edge from drain surround
Reported via desktop in the Loose / Raised / Sunken category anonymously at 08:48, Sun 14 April 2024
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5849066.
The concrete edging to this drain has a large sharp exposed edge perpendicular to traffic. It has not been sloped down to the road surface like others in the area.
The sharp edge and corner are touching the road surface.
I caught this edge in my car which caused an immediate cut to the tyre and a puncture.
If a motorcyclist or cyclist were to hit this it could cause severe injury.
I'm not sure why the edging is required at all, many drains in the area are simply level with the tarmac with no edging, or have a simple sloped curb parallel to the road which poses far less risk to the direction of travel.
