A sink hole has caused road closures in Devon, prompting warnings for drivers to find alternative routes and avoid the area.
Devon: A sink hole has popped up on a busy road. It’s causing quite a stir. Drivers are being warned to steer clear of the area.
This happened on Long Lane near Dunkeswell. The road was closed on Wednesday afternoon. Devon County Council has put up signs to keep everyone safe.
But guess what? Some folks are ignoring those signs. They’re still trying to drive through. The council is not happy about this. Removing those signs is actually against the law.
Devon Alert shared a message on X, reminding everyone to find another route. They stressed that ignoring road closure signs can lead to trouble.
A local resident mentioned that this road sees thousands of cars daily. The detours are adding about 20 minutes to their trips. It’s a hassle for everyone.
They live just a stone’s throw from the sink hole. It’s frustrating to see people taking down barriers and ignoring the warnings.
