Coleorton is essentially a rural community. The two main roads running through Coleorton are the the A512 and A511. Most of the other roads are very rural lanes and residential roads. However, some of these are also use by commuters and others and can get pretty busy at certain times of the day. None of these roads were designed or built for high-speed traffic, but some drivers seem unaware or don’t care about the dangers of speeding on narrow, bendy roads where there are also walkers, horse-riders, farm traffic and cyclists.
