Definition
What this concern includes
Includes failures or hazards in road-junction layouts and dedicated safety controls where recurring collisions or serious collision risk indicate that the junction is not reliably made safe, including layout, signage, markings, speed or other junction-specific mitigation measures.
Not included
Excludes generic road-safety, highway-maintenance or collision concerns without a material road-junction safety condition.
Excludes failures limited to a specific road-marking, signage or inspection process where junction safety is not the shared unsafe condition.
Excludes pedestrian-crossing, railway, vehicle-design and non-junction hazards unless the assertion directly concerns safety of the road junction.
Excludes a single isolated collision or factual hazard where no continuing deficiency or recurring collision risk is identified.

Side-road approach measures are not usually effective for restart accidents; main-road measures are considered more appropriate.
