Pixham Lane Looking north along Pixham Lane near Pixham Sports ground. The pinchpoint here was one of a number of measures introduced in the early 2000s in an attempt to control speed along the lane, following the removal of an experimental road closure in early 2003 which (predictably) caused traffic chaos over a large area.
