This illustrates a problem shared by many rural villages. The roads were not built with modern traffic in mind. This is the B3217 beside Atherington Post Office which is part of the direct route between Winkleigh and Barnstaple and regularly carries large articulated lorries on single track roads like this. Photographs were taken of a large articulated lorry on this road which had to reverse to negotiate the corner, but this photograph was submitted instead as the lorry blocked out everything else.
