Uncertainty over right of way, says concerned resident

The scene of the crash has been branded a danger junction with continuing calls for increased safety improvements.

Kent County Council repainted road markings in June last year, but locals say more needs to be done.

Sara O’brien, 34, lives near the junction and has questioned figures revealing that 10 people have been hurt in crashes there in the last decade.

Speaking to the Gazette following the taxi crash last year, the scientist said: “There are three accidents this year which are not included in the figures and there are obviously other ones which do not get reported We need more to be done. There are signs saying that the crossroads is coming up, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. The word ‘slow’ painted in the road would help.

“We really don’t want to see any more crashes here.”

Miss O’brien says the main problem with the crossroads is uncertainty about who has right of way.
