Name: Morwenna Mortimer on Mar 15, 2010Comments: I had a very nasty accident along the A379 in August 2008 where a car going in excess of 60mph drove into the back of me which pushed me into the hedge and nearly tiped the car over. I had my 16 month old son in the back. Luckily my son and I were unhurt, but the other man was air lifted to hosipital and received treatment for hi sneck and back. It is high time that a speedlimit was put in place on this road as there are so many accidents.Flag

Name: Anita Thomas on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I fear for my judgment every time I have to turn right across traffic on a tight corner to turn into a drive way. The same goes for when I leave. The traffic (cars, lorries etc) is far to fast and unforgiving. Please save lives and reduce the speed limit. We are worth it.Flag

Name: Peter Smith on Mar 16, 2010Comments: Its a no brainer. This road can no way in any shape or form be a 60mph speed limit. The accidents prove it and the accidents will keep on happening till it gets reduced to 40mphFlag

Name: Mrs Patricia Browne on Mar 16, 2010Comments: I have found this road to be incredibly dangerous when visiting my son and daughter-in-law and have had a number of close shaves when pulling across the road into their entrance. Their entrance is on a downward bend and motor vehicles travel around the corner without the control of a speed limit and seemingly without expecting residential houses with their owners entering and exiting their properties. The speed with which motor bikes travel is particularly scary. As well as supporting a speed limit on this road, I would like to see a few road signs highlighting 'Blind entrance, vehicles turning'. In the interests of safety I have sometimes driven past my son's house to turn around further up the road towards Powderham but this has proved to be just as dangerous. The accidents, both fatal and otherwise could I'm sure, be reduced by speed control.Flag

Name: David Hill on Mar 17, 2010Comments: As a regular user of this stretch of road I have arrived on the scene of a number of accidents including two fatalities and the most recent accident on Monday morning 15th March. Apart from the casualties involved there was considerable disruption to traffic and some essential services requiring access. It is a difficult stretch upon which to pass safely and I have further witnessed very excessive speeds with some even above the 60 mph limit together with almost suicidle efforts to overtake which threatens head on collisions. There are many much wider and uninterupted viewing roads(even dual carriage ways) within Devon County Council's network which are subject to 40 m.p.h speed limits and I therefore fail to see why how this stretch of highway cannot be subject to the introduction of a 40 m.p.h. speed limit despite the Chief Assistant Engineer's statement.Flag

Name: Dr Tristram Smyth on Mar 17, 2010Comments: This is a long overdue requirement. Those of us who live along this stretch of road have, sadly, become all too used to the sound of emergency service sirens and air ambulance helicopters attending the frequent accidents. If the Assistant Engineer of Highways asserts that the road "complies with the local speed policy" then it is the policy that needs changing before more injuries and fatalities are suffered. It is quite unreal to believe that this is a segment of road that can be safely driven at 60mph and, if Highways believes it can, it should get out and about more. The limit should be lowered to 40mph forthwith and properly policed to ensure that it is complied with. A Gatso or two would not go amiss either. Until that is done the toll of human life/injuries will continue and the responsibility for that will reside as much with the County Council for their blindness as with the individual road user for their irresponsibility.Flag

Name: JR Neill on Mar 17, 2010Comments: I've lived in Kenton on the A379 for thirty years and the volume as well as size of vehicles continues to grow year on year. Speed in excess of 40mph further increases the danger and accident rate so the logical measure is to make this the speed limit.Flag

Name: James Edge on Mar 19, 2010Comments: When will the local council finally wake up and admit the 60mph speed limit is far too high for this stretch of road,it is only 10 mph lower than the M5 !!!!!!!!! How many more incidents,accidents and possible fatalities do there have to be,before some council jobsworth...who probably doesn't even know or use the stretch of road ...comes to their senses. WAKE UP TEIGNBRIDGE DISTRICT COUNCIL.Flag

Name: Sarah Edge on Mar 19, 2010Comments: How can such a narrow twisty road justify the 60 mph limit? A recent official local council traffic study showed most vehicles travelled at around 40/45 mph,this proves that the road is suitable for the proposed limit and would not affect traffic flow. At off peak times e.g. daytime,weekends the road is used by cycling clubs at 20mph,sunday "potter along at 35mph"drivers and motor cyclists who think they are performing at a track day doing 60mph plus! This has and will again prove to be a lethal combination.Flag

Name: Sally Mills on Mar 19, 2010Comments: As land holders on neighbouring land to this road, the RSPB would support lowering the speed limit. Whilst improving health and safety for raod users, a lower speed limit may also have conservation gain, with potentially less wildlife road casulaties.Flag

Name: Rob Simmonds on Mar 19, 2010Comments: I commute by bike along this road on a daily basis and would like to see the limit set at 40. As a driver I find that 40 is more than adequate. 60 is far too fast.Flag

Name: Dr. R. And Mrs. A. Brown on Mar 28, 2010Comments: The crossroads at the junction of Exminster Hill lane and the lane leading to Powderham church is clearly an accident blackspot. We fully support a reduction in speed to 40mph along the entire A379 between Exminster and Kenton.Flag
