At the corner of nethermill road pictured the big ditch / burn is very dangerous. On the 17/2 I turned of school road towards nethermill road and I was travelling at approx 10mph, I hit black ice at the conrner and skidded on to the enbankment, due to the ditch there my truck toppled on its side. I've only used that road for 2 months but noticed another car on its side just over a month ago. I think to have a big ditch or burn at a dangerous corner is hazardous. The village frequently has temperatures below zero and more cars will topple here. I had 3 kids in the car and the incident could have been much more serious.
