I have complained about the dangers of the Horsham Road/Steyning Bypass junction for a number of years. It is particularly bad at night; but the County Council does not support improved street lighting because such a ‘pool’ of light, with darkness either side on a fast road, is considered to be even more dangerous. 

Earlier this year I suggested to the Local Highway Manager that consideration be given to the provision of reflective road studs on the A283 westbound approach to the Horsham Road junction. The exit is a sharp bend off the Bypass which is not really clear in the dark and such indicative studs would improve the situation.

A new Traffic Officer is now in post and will be investigating such a safety improvement.
