We are proposing road safety improvements at the A390 and B3269 junction at No Man's Land

What are we consulting on?

The proposed changes at the junction consist of three improvements:

  • The removal of the traffic island with a sign is located in the middle of the road, on the uphill approach to the junction from Lostwithel. Taking it away should make the road safer for drivers, especially motorcyclists.
  • Another proposal is to make the right-turn lane on the A390 longer. By doing this and stretching it past the bend in the road, drivers will have more time to slow down and notice the junction ahead. This should help reduce collisions and make the road easier to understand and use, especially when combined with the removal of the traffic island.
  • The installation of a new electronic sign will be added on the uphill approach to the junction. This sign will light up and flash a warning when a vehicle is waiting to come out of the junction, this will help drivers on the A390 know that someone might be pulling out, so they can be more careful and be prepared to slow or stop.

Why are we doing this?

This junction had previously been identified as a location with a high rate of collisions. Because of that, a safety project was done in 2017 to address the issues that were contributing to these collisions. After those changes were made, the collision rate improved.

However, in the last few years, two very serious crashes happened there that sadly led to people losing their lives. Because of this, we decided to take another look at the road layout to see if more improvements could be made to help prevent future collisions and to reduce the chances of people being seriously injured.

Next steps

Once the Consultation finishes on the 4th August 2025,we will collect the feedback and traffic data to decide what to do next.
