Pedestrian Safety on Rural Lanes (Biddulph Moor) |
||
|
We are reminding residents and visitors in Biddulph Moor to take extra care when walking on the area’s narrow country lanes. Locations such as New Road, Clay Lake, Hurst Road and surrounding rural routes are particularly challenging due to blind bends, high hedgerows, and the absence of pavements. These roads are frequently used by farm vehicles, work vans, and through traffic, often with limited space to pass safely.
For those out walking: Walk facing oncoming traffic where possible so you can see approaching vehicles. Be especially cautious on bends and hill crests where drivers may not see you until late. Wear bright or reflective clothing, particularly during low light or poor weather. Step into verges or gateways early to allow vehicles to pass safely. Keep dogs on a lead and under close control at all times.
For drivers in the Biddulph Moor area: Reduce speed and be prepared to stop on single-track lanes. Expect pedestrians, cyclists, horses, and agricultural vehicles at any time. Take extra care around bends and when cresting hills.
We want everyone to enjoy the countryside safely, and a small amount of awareness from both pedestrians and drivers can prevent serious incidents.
If you witness dangerous driving or have ongoing concerns, please report via Staffordshire Police online services or by calling 101. In an emergency, always dial 999. | ||
