Junction

Berry Down Cross is infamous for its A3123 road junction, which gained a reputation for being unsafe. A house that had stood on the bend of the junction since the 1700s was crashed into by cars seventeen times over three years.[2][3] In 2020, the Department for Transport announced a £2.2 million scheme to improve the safety of the road including a 40 mph (64 km/h) speed limit and cat's eyes.[4]
