Circumstances of the death
The deceased was crossing A1098 Taylors Avenue, Cleethorpes at a roundabout controlled junction known as Hewitts Circus when she was struck by a car exiting the roundabout.
Coroner’s concerns
(1) Street furniture, notably a central illuminated bollard may obstruct/interfere with motorists view.
(2) White lines indicating an Elephant crossing are non-prescribed and may induce pedestrians to believe they have priority.
