Contractors will return to Buttertubs Pass to correct road studs that have been installed too high.

Contractors are to return to Buttertubs Pass in the Yorkshire Dales after concerns were raised about newly installed road studs being 'too high' and potentially causing motorists to 'feel the bump'. Muker Parish Council raised the issue with North Yorkshire Council following recent work to the road, which included resurfacing, repainting road markings and reinstatement of the reflective cats eye studs in the centre of the road.

North Yorkshire Council confirmed that it has reviewed the works and arranged for the contractor to return to the site on 15 November to carry out remedial work. The contractor will remove and correctly reinstate the studs where required.

Buttertubs Pass, near Hawes, crosses high moorland between Wensleydale and Swaledale. The road featured as the second King of the Mountains climb of the 2024 Tour de France Grand Départ.
