Watch: Villagers dice with overtaking cars at 'death trap' A5 junction
Residents in a Shropshire village say they are taking their lives in their hands every time they turn off the A5 to go home due to overtaking cars coming the other way.
People living in Montford, near Shrewsbury, say the junction to their village off the A5 is a “death trap” as faded lines on the road have resulted in overtaking cars doing 60mph careering towards stopped cars waiting to turn right.
Robin Pocock, from Montford Parish Council, said there had been numerous accidents at the junction, and that a “fatality is inevitable”.
He said: “There have been a number of accidents and numerous ongoing near-misses, which is a real worry.
“The road markings have been worn out for more than nine years and vehicles overtake not realising there is a junction ahead and cars are waiting to turn right.
