Reduce the Speed Limit and Improve Road Safety on the A689 in Carlisle — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.
Take urgent action to make the A689 between Houghton and Kingstown roundabout safer. Review and extend the 40mph speed limit, address the dangerous lay-by on the blind brow, and introduce a safer central turning facility at the Harker cut-through. Act now before another life is lost.
We call for urgent road safety action on the A689 between Houghton and the Kingstown/Junction 44 roundabout near Carlisle. There have been 4–5 collisions in recent months, including serious incidents requiring hospital treatment, plus dangerous near misses. We ask for an urgent speed-limit review, extension of the 40mph limit to the roundabout, and a safer central turning facility at the junction/cut-through towards Harker. The busy lay-by on the brow of a blind hill adds further risk.
