Many highlighted that seeing past the low bridge on the right-hand side was hard.

Sarah Weston said: "You can't see a thing coming under the bridge until it's right upon you."

Aden Poolton agreed, adding:  "They always seem to speed up at you like they never pulled out on it before."

2. Where Midland Road and Shrub Hill Road connect to the Newtown Road tunnel

Many said it was confusing with the traffic lights telling you when to stop and go while also needing to give way. 

Lyubomir-Monika Nguen said: "It's a super messy regulated junction.

"As when you come from the train station on Midland Road towards the under railway bridge, you have to give way to the cars coming on the same road from the opposite direction!?

"Even if you have a green light on the traffic lights, you still have to sign to give the way of the right-hand standing - be extremely careful."

Another reader, Marc Durham, said: "Drivers always pull out of the giveaway from Midland Road to go through the tunnel with no care or attention, thinking they have right of way!"

One reader, Jayne Warrillow, even went as far as to say that cars use "shocking bully boy tactics" on the segment of the road.

3. The Ketch Roundabout

The Ketch Roundabout connects three very busy roads, the A4440, the A38 and Broomhall Way. 

Hels Bells said you have to pray when joining the Ketch Roundabout from the A38 when coming out of Kempsey.

"If you're coming from Kempsey, it's absolutely lethal trying to get out, with maniacs flying across from the right and then when you do pull out, you then pray the cars flying along from the left actually stop," she said.

4. The Bilford Road and Droitwich Road roundabout

Mike Parkin said: "Particularly on two wheels, I choose the Bilford Road and Droitwich Road roundabout.

"It isn't big enough, and cars coming from Bilford Road heading straight on very often don't slow down and plough straight across."
