An online petition with hundreds of signatures is urging for urgent safety measures to be implemented on the A37 Dorchester to Yeovil road in Somerset. The petition follows a series of fatal crashes in recent years, including one in January 2024 that claimed the life of a man in his 20s. Other fatal incidents occurred in October 2017 and 2015.
The petition highlights the hazardous stretch of the A37, particularly emphasizing the hidden dip of Break Heart Hill near the Maiden Newton/Sydling St Nicholas turnings as a hotspot for accidents. It calls upon the Highways Agency and local authorities to take immediate action, improve signage, adjust road markings, and implement other precautionary measures to prevent further tragedies.
The petition aims to address the urgency of the safety issues on the A37 at Break Heart Hill, hoping to spare other families from the suffering caused by these accidents. The call to action emphasizes the need to prevent unnecessary accidents and encourages individuals to sign the petition to support the cause.
