The road approaching Toseland has a very dangerous corner at which I have personally witnessed seven accidents, one which was fatal.
It has always been a bad road for speeding on, but the massive increase in traffic has made it much worse. I always understood that a bypass was to ease traffic through villages, not to increase it.
