Having received representations from local residents I have requested yellow backed chevron boards to replace those present in situ on the A375 at Sidbury Hill as many drivers are  ‘taking their lives in their hands’ approaching and taking the bends at speed.....This has already led to several crashes.

​

Both speeding and overtaking also pose a danger on the steep hill heading towards Honiton. 

​

There is no doubt in my mind that Sidbury Hill is far more dangerous when it comes to overtaking than on the A3052  Four Elms Hill.

I should therefore like to see consideration given to the provision of double white lines painted along the stretch ‘where there have already been crashes’.

Householders have expressed fears over the speed of overtaking vehicles heading up the hill – and that motorists coming down it into Sidbury can far exceed that of the 40mph limit.

“Residents egressing from their driveways say they are taking their lives in their hands,”  ‘The only way’ to stop the overtaking is for double white lines to be provided.
