The speed limit is set to be reduced at a crossroads near Spalding which has become an accident hotspot.
A total of 11 crashes have occurred around the junction of Fulney Drove and Mill Drove North in the last five years, according to Lincolnshire County Council, writes Local Democracy Reporter Oliver Castle.
The junction where the main roads meet Clay Lake Bank and Old Fendike Road has been designated an “accident cluster” by Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership.
The county council is proposing that the speed limit is reduced from 60mph to 50mph in all directions approaching the junction.
Attempts at making it safer through warning signs and road markings have been unsuccessful.
There have also been five more accidents where people have been injured to the north of the area in the last five years, and four to the south.
The county council will consider the option at a Planning committee meeting next week (February 9).
A report says: “Over the last five years, 11 vehicle collisions have occurred at the intersection of Fulney Drove and Mill Drove North with side roads Clay Lake Bank and Old Fendike Road.
“The site is recorded as an accident cluster site by the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership but despite engineering interventions including enhanced advance warning signage and changes to road markings, the numbers of reported injury accidents remains high.”
The speed limit change would extend north to the junction of Weston Hills Road, and south to the A16.
