FOUR people have been killed on the A419 in the past week.

In both accidents a vehicle passed across the central reservation and entered the opposite carriageway.

The road is a motorway in all but name certainly judging by the speed of traffic travelling along it.

It is inexcusable to have some parts of the road without crash barriers.

People living along the road have been calling for safety measures for years.

We can only hope more lives are not wasted before a decision is finally taken.
