    Sonny Bob Parmar, aged three, was struck by a car after entering the road near a Pelican crossing while walking with his mother, and died from his injuries at Whittington Hospital.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Install vehicle-activated signs reminding drivers of the existing 30mph speed limit.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “We note that renewal of anti-skid surfacing on the approaches to the pedestrian crossing at the scene of the collision was undertaken over the weekend 30 November to 1 December 2019 and vehicle activated signs to remind drivers of the existing 30mph speed limit have been installed in April 2020. Work has also now been programmed to remove the redundant dropped kerb and provide additional guard rail panels at this location. This has taken longer than originally anticipated, but is now programmed to commence 16 June 2020.”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    A reduced speed limit at this crossing is not considered appropriate because it is isolated from schools and one of several local pedestrian crossings.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “We consider that introduction of a reduced speed limit local to this particular crossing in isolation is not appropriate given that it is only one of a series of pedestrian crossing locations in East End Road and elsewhere in the local area, all of which are situated a moderate distance from schools.”

    How this respondent position was interpreted

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the published response wording shown below.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    A signed 20mph limit cannot be expected to achieve adequate compliance on East End Road without additional measures, risking a false sense of security.

    Verbatim wording from the response

    “Where a 20mph speed limit is being considered the type of provision made is informed by regulations and guidance regarding the suitability of different approaches.”
