PFD Monitor interpretation

Replace the roundabout’s illuminated bollards with non-illuminated bollards, positioning them to improve driver guidance without restricting pedestrian visibility.

Verbatim wording from the response

“I can inform you that it is intended to replace the illuminated bollards at the roundabout with non-illuminated bollards. These are not significantly smaller than the bollards currently present but in replacing them a location within the central refuge will be chosen so as to offer the best guidance to motorist whilst avoiding restricting visibility to or of a pedestrian attempting to cross the roads.”
