I was recently interviewed along with others about the road which went out on the internet.
The interviewer was asking people their views regarding the action that has been taken to reduce accidents, many of them fatal, on this road.
In 2018 North Yorkshire County Council secured £11.5m for road safety from the Government's Safer Roads Fund.
The money, announced by the Department for Transport, is for work to upgrade four stretches of road in the county over the next five years.
The county council submitted bids for each of the projects and has been awarded 100 per cent of the money requested.
