PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure of junction signage to require stopping where visibility of the major road is restricted

Wider context from the report

“The B1190 Tom Otter’s Lane junction with the C267 Sand Lane, Saxilby, Lincolnshire provides for the road user approaching from either direction on Sand Lane to give way to traffic on the major B1190 road. There is a restricted view of the B1190 as a road user approaches the junction. To be certain the B1190 road is clear a road user would be required to stop, however the road signage only requires a road user to give way. Would the junction be safer for road users if it displayed a stop command rather than a give way warning? ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate road sight distance for drivers to identify hazards safely; Inadequate road warning signage; Inadequate safety controls at high-risk road junctions; Inadequate visibility for road users at hazardous junctions.
