Large area of road pools with water which is causing black ice
Sent to West Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 6962256.
This area of flooded road is where one gully is sited. It has been a problem area for many years and has been causing the road to fill with water much worse for the last 12 months.
This is adjacent to a 90 degree bend in the road which is a sharp mend and blind to traffic. When the temperatures are freezing, vehicles are carrying this water round the bend on their wheels and causing a huge patch of ice. I have encountered this ice patch and it was the most significant road skid I have encountered in the last 20 years of driving.
The affects of this standing water at a sharp bend need to be noted as a danger beyond the normal road hazards a driver would encounter.
