Report a road safety concern

Tell us about a concerns with crossings, speeding and more

So far this year, our Traffic Management Team have received nearly 20 new requests every week via the report a road safety concern form. The main concerns  we receive are about:

• Difficulty crossing the road
• Concerns about traffic speeds
• Suggestions about improving a junction
• Requests for parking restrictions due to inconsiderate parking affecting sight lines. Visit our parking restriction page to report this to our team

Our Highways Department also receive requests for maintenance work, including pothole repairs and faded road markings such as yellow or white lines. These reports are dealt with differently via our mapping system.

Safety concerns that are a result of temporary roadworks should be reported directly to our Streetworks team via our Highway General Enquiry form.

Safety concern regarding dangerous driving should be reported directly to Thames Valley Police. We are unable to consider requests for traffic management unless they are based on ongoing safety issues and not one off incidents involving a dangerous driving.  

In many cases we are unable to take further action as we receive a high number of requests, and must balance these against criteria such as traffic volumes, reported incidents and available funds. 

The safety of our residents is our number one priority and decisions will be based on safety alone, however limited resources and budget, due to the council’s financial situation, will have an impact on the timescales as we must prioritise the works based on safety.
