If there is a genuine emergency and life is in immediate danger, call 999 for the emergency services.
We can only deal with problems on county roads. National Highways are responsible the A31, A303 and A35 west of Bere Regis trunk roads.
An emergency on the highway is something that will cause, or has already caused, injury to a person or damage to a property, including:
- damage to street furniture caused by an accident or collision
- obstructions, debris or hazards on the highway which could cause an incident
- significant flooding of the highway
- oil or fuel spillages significant enough to cause a hazard
Traffic signal failures (signalised junctions, crossings and temporary traffic lights at roadworks), must also be reported by phone so we can attend to the fault straight away. Please do not report these issues online.
