PFD Monitor interpretation Unsafe junction for cars crossing the carriageway to the central reservation to carry out a turn manoeuvre
Wider context from the report “In this case there were a number of contributory factors to the collision, including the manner in which the motorcycle was being driven and the speed at which it had been driven, however, issues were raised at the inquest by the family and Merseyside Police suggestive of the fact that the junction is unsafe and that there have been a number of collisions at that junction. There is concern it is unsafe for a car to go across the carriageway to the central reservation to carry out a turn manoeuvre . The Court would request the Council to review the safety of this junction.

PFD Monitor interpretation Closing the central-reservation gaps is not justified at present because collision numbers are relatively low and closure could create further safety and access problems.
Verbatim wording from the response “Of these, 4 collisions involved vehicles performing U-turns. 2 were at the gap in the central reservation at the main MHP Walton car park entrance to the west of Hornby Close (in 2010 and 2012), 1 was at the gap in the central reservation at Hornby Place (in 2018), and the other was the fatal collision at the gap in the central reservation at the service road leading to Walton train station in 2019.” Source location 2020-0131-Response-from-Liverpool-City-Council_Redacted.pdf

Report summary
Jamie Finlay was a passenger in a car involved in a collision on the A1088 near Thetford Road after another vehicle turned right before a filter lane bollard and both drivers swerved. He was taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital, where his life support was switched off on 11 May 2017; the concern identified was that the junction design did not prevent drivers turning right ahead of the bollards onto the wrong side of them.

Report summary
Edward McGivern was cycling to work on Dover Road, Slough Trading Estate, on 9 November 2018 when his bicycle collided with a heavy goods vehicle turning left at a traffic-light-controlled junction. He sustained multiple injuries and died at the scene. The concern was that the road layout and cycle lanes may place cyclists at continuing risk of being struck by motor vehicles turning left at junctions.

PFD Monitor interpretation Failure of cycle-lane layout to ensure cyclists are visible to left-turning motor vehicles
Wider context from the report “I am concerned that there have now been two collisions between bicycles and motor vehicles at the junction of Dover Road and Buckingham Avenue caused by motor vehicles turning left at the traffic lights, and colliding with cyclists crossing the junction.
There are many commercial vehicles using the roads around Slough Trading Estate, but also cyclists and pedestrians.
The cycle lanes as they are marked on Dover Road may encourage cyclists to ride up the inside of vehicles waiting to turn left at the traffic lights, and they may not be seen by the drivers of those vehicles as they pull away from the lights and turn left, especially during the hours of darkness.
The sharing of the carriageway of Dover Road between bicycles and motor vehicles by means of cycle lanes may put cyclists at risk.
A review of the road layout of Dover Road, including the question of whether there should be dedicated marked cycle lanes, and if so, whether these should be positioned in the carriageway or on the pavement (so that the carriageway is reserved for motor vehicles and the pavement is shared between cyclists and pedestrians, with dedicated cycle paths) may produce a road system which is safer for cyclists.
I consider that unless some action is taken there is a continuing risk of cyclists riding along Dover Road being struck by motorised vehicles turning left at junctions.

Richard Stanley Lee Hallett was riding a motorcycle when it collided with a white Iveco van at a junction in Poundbury on 14 September 2018. He sustained severe head injuries and died in hospital two days later; concerns were raised about the lack of road markings and parking restrictions, which reduced sightlines and increased the risk of collisions at junctions.

PFD Monitor interpretation Lack of parking restrictions reducing sightlines at junctions
Wider context from the report “1. During the inquest evidence was heard that:
i. There are no road markings in the Poundbury estate to indicate which vehicle has the right of way when reaching a junction. In addition, parking appears to be permitted along the length of Lower Blakemere Road , which forces vehicles travelling in a northerly direction into the oncoming carriageway. Police evidence indicated that this reduced the sightline of the driver of the Iveco van when looking into Harewood Road to look for oncoming traffic.
2. I have concerns with regard to the following:
i. The lack of parking restrictions on Lower Blakemere Road result in the drivers that use that road having a reduced sightlines when approaching junctions . Such drivers are not able to see traffic approaching the junctions until very late , and as no vehicle would appear to have the right of way, the risk of collision would appear to be increased.

Verbatim wording from the response “As part of the upgrade of Cycle Superhighway 2 completed in 2016, changes were made at the junction including installing segregated cycle lanes on the Mile End Road approaches, and introducing a right turn ban from Mile End Road (western arm) into Burdett Road (southern arm) and a right turn ban from Burdett Road (southern arm) into Mile End Road (eastern arm). Prior to finalising this design, we considered straight-across crossing design options, but they were not feasible due to adverse impacts which included longer wait times for pedestrians, increased queue lengths for vehicles, and re-routing of traffic on local roads leading to ‘rat-running’.” Source location 2019-0197-Response-by-Transport-for-London

Verbatim wording from the response “We are proposing to re-introduce pedestrian guard railing on north-west corner of the junction to direct pedestrians to use the formal crossings provided. We are also investigating signal heads on green pedestrian signals to reduce the risk of ‘see-through’ problems (where two or more signals are close together and there are risks that road users look at the wrong set of signals), and removal of street furniture such as telephone kiosks to improve pedestrian visibility (subject to discussions with third parties).” Source location 2019-0197-Response-by-Transport-for-London

PFD Monitor interpretation Dangerous and confusing layout of the A16/B1166 junction
Wider context from the report “1. The court heard evidence from a number of current regular road users describing the layout of the A16/B1166 junction as "dangerous", "horrendous", "confusing" and "difficult" ;
2. In evidence the Lincolnshire Police confirmed that this was the fourth fatality at this junction ;
3. The junction was created as a "staggered" junction in August 2010. Following one of the previous fatalities at the junction further work had been undertaken with red thermoplastic laid in hatched areas;
4. Expert evidence received from the East Midlands Operational Support Service Serious Collision Investigation Unit confirmed the junction to be an "accident blackspot" and that the staggered junction created an on-going risk to future road users in that:
a. This junction should be reconfigured as a roundabout;
b. Alternatively there should be the deployment of considered traffic calming measures (cameras, traffic lights, speed restrictions).

PFD Monitor interpretation Lack of barriers separating the road and pavement on the northern approach to the junction
Wider context from the report “1. During the inquest evidence was heard that:
i. I heard evidence that the junction of Portland Road, Murley Road and Langton Avenue is a particularly busy junction during the rush hours and during the “school runs”, as Portland Road is the main road into Portland and this junction is close to a number of schools. However, I heard evidence that there are no crossing points for pedestrians at the junction, no advanced stop line for cyclists, no cycle lane and no barriers between the road and the pavement on the approach to the traffic signals .
2. I have concerns with regard to the following:
i. Pedestrians have to “guess” when the lights are in their favour, depending upon the road they intend to cross at the junction; there is no pelican crossing at the junction to assist pedestrians, many of who are of school age, to cross safely at this junction.
ii. There is no barrier between the pavement and the road as the junction is approached from the north. This allows pedestrians and cyclists to potentially cross between cars that are held at the junction by the lights, and would mean cars travelling in a northerly direction up Portland Road would have an obscured view of those crossing the road between stationary vehicles.
iii. There is no accommodation for cyclists. Given that many of the cyclists using this road will be of school age, particular care needs to be taken to ensure that cyclists can use the road safely and be clearly seen by drivers using Portland Road, perhaps by way of dedicated cycle lanes and/or advanced stop lines at the traffic signals.
