    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure of the access-way layout to adequately accommodate regular pedestrian and vehicle use

    Wider context from the report

    “The access way is a wide one to the Co-operative car park. It is likely that pedestrians and vehicles use this access way on a regular basis. I wonder if you could give consideration as to if the lay-out of this access way might be improved. Possibilities might include tactile or coloured paving, extension of the double yellow lines (or other road markings), or the insertion of a central island. ”

    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Reduction in off-side visibility from vehicle adaptations

    Wider context from the report

    “The van in question was a Mercedes Sprinter being used as a security van. As part of the adaptations for it to be a security van the size of the driver's door window had been reduced. The off-side wing mirror was standard. A reduction in the available view to the off-side may have been a factor why the van driver did not spot Mitchell. Perhaps you can kindly confirm that the design of this vehicle has been duly approved and consider if any further adaptations regarding either the window or mirror are appropriate. ”
