    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Protruding road studs creating a motorcycle loss-of-control hazard

    Wider context from the report

    “(2) The evidence suggested that one of the most likely causes of the deceased losing control of his motorcycle was contact with a protruding cats eye. This was agreed by the senior investigation officer and the collision investigation officer who both held the view that this may have contributed to the accident. Consideration in my view ought to be given to replacing the “old style cats eyes” with the newer “slim line” version to minimise this risk in the future should it not be considered appropriate to make the area subject to double white lines to prohibit overtaking. ”

    PFD Monitor created a concise, searchable interpretation from the report wording shown below. The report was sent to Powys Highways Department; that does not assign responsibility.

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Inadequate road markings permitting overtaking on a road with a side entrance and obscured visibility

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The road at this particular location is governed by a single broken white line indicating that overtaking is permitted. Given the layout of the road, the existence of a side entrance to it, the impact of hedges obscuring the view of the road consideration, in my opinion, ought to be given to putting double white line markings on this particular stretch of road. ”
