Traffic lights proposed for 'lethal' A15 junction
Sleaford Target
|September 03, 2025
RESIDENTS say it’s about time something was done to one of Lincolnshire’s most dangerous accident blackspots, which could get traffic lights installed. The Metheringham crossroads where the A15 meets Heath Lane is one of the five worst areas in the county for accidents.
A study by Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership has recommended that four-way traffic lights are installed at the busy junction.
Drivers on Heath Lane are often forced to wait for long periods to pull out onto the A15, or make risky manoeuvres.
A man in his 60s was killed in a crash on the crossroads in 2024.
Councillor Fran Pembery (Con), who represents Metheringham on the parish council and North Kesteven District Council, said people are “desperate” for improvements.
