There should be traffic calming measures at what some are calling a 'dangerous junction' near Filey.
That's the message in a petition, which has been started to get something done on the A 165 at Muston, where it meets the A 1039 at 'Harry's Diner'.
It's been the site of traffic collisions, in one of which a woman died last year.
The petition states:
"Ask the relevant authorities to install traffic calming measures at the junction near Harry’s Diner, in between Filey and Muston in North Yorkshire, to prevent further death and injury.
In the past year, 1 person has lost their life at the junction near Harry’s Diner, in between Filey and Muston in North Yorkshire.
Install traffic calming measures like traffic lights, that will help stop vehicles travelling at high speeds past the junction and will hopefully prevent further deaths."
