This concerns the Cross Lanes to Rokeby section. The scheme should extend eastwards to include the Wycliffe junction at Thorpe Grange Farm. This is a junction off the existing dual carriageway which has no deceleration lane. My representation is that a deceleration lane should be provided as part of the scheme to enable the junction to meet the standards set out in the design considerations for the A66. The road improvements at Rokeby as well as the remainder of the A66 will result in more traffic going faster and will therefore make an eastbound exist of this junction even more hazardous when there is no deceleration lane. This junction is used by local communities, and since 2020 has been used to a greater extent because of the closure of Whorlton Bridge.
