A road not meant to carry all that traffic

From Beryl Plascott.
THE ten-ton rock fall on Mount Bingham on Sunday and the resultant road closure until at least Christmas makes it very awkward for me, a disabled person, and friends collecting me.
I blame it on all the traffic – vans, buses, lorries, motorbikes and motorcars. They screech up the hill and down it. That road was never meant to carry all that traffic.
Calming measures should have been put on Mount Bingham years ago.
I know, as a driver myself, that it could be argued that as one is accelerating up the steep slope calming control on the sea side would not be suitable, but what about on the coming down? I am sure the vehicles are doing more than 30 mph.
No wonder all that vibration has undermined the stability of the rock face. It is not rocket science, just common sense.
You take your life in your hands when you try to cross the road on Mount Bingham. I do not, being disabled, want to walk down from my cottage to the pedestrian crossing, but I do because you could get mown down otherwise.
I have lived in my cottage for 30 years and have seen Mount Bingham get worse and worse with HGV’s etc. Some sort of weight and size restriction and speed should be imposed.
