Government funding has been confirmed for a £2.2 million road safety scheme on one of Devon’s most dangerous roads.
The A3123, which connects the North Devon Link Road to Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, was identified back in 2016 as one of the 50 most dangerous A roads in the country.
Devon County Council introduced a series of safety measures at Berry Down Cross and Hore Down Gate on the A3123 in North Devon last year – including a 40mph speed limit, new advance warning signs, solar-powered road studs, and high friction surfacing.

Work has started on a major upgrade to the North Devon Link Road this week.
A turf cutting was carried out by councillor Andrea Davis, Devon County Council’s Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Development, to mark the start of the A361 improvements between South Molton and the Portmore roundabout at Barnstaple.
Contractor Alun Griffiths will be carrying out the work to widen sections of the road in order to provide better and safer overtaking opportunities and improve journey time reliability.
