New road markings and signs have been installed along a major Fenland road following a number of crashes.
The improvements have been installed at the Boots Bridge junction between Manea and Wimblington in response to local concerns to improve road safety.
The junction of the B1093 Manea Road and the B1098 Sixteen Foot Bank had seen a number of collisions before previous major improvements were made in 2019.
According to CrashMap, Boots Bridge recorded at least nine crashes between 2012 and 2017.
Since then, incidents have reduced but residents have remained concerned about the junction.
Cllr Alex Beckett, chair of the highways and transport committee at Cambridgeshire County Council said: “We’re aware of the concerns and following further engagement with residents and councillors, we have made several changes to warn drivers ahead of the junction and, most importantly, aim to reduce vehicle speeds.
"We’ve lowered the speed limit on the approaches, added red countdown markers, new 'Give-way' and directional signs, and introduced a red high-friction surface around the junction.’’
