Report a Road Fault
There are three highway authorities responsible for the design, construction, maintenance and safety on the roads in Bedfordshire and Luton.
When reporting a fault or giving feedback, please make sure you contact the right authority for the road in question.
When reporting a fault, be sure to provide as much detail as possible – it is helpful to report:
- Exactly where the problem is
- That you are reporting the fault as a motorcyclist.
- Why the problem was an issue to you as a motorcyclist
