PFD Monitor interpretation

Lack of warning signs for the junction with Trebost Lane on Tubbоn Hill

Wider context from the report

“There are no signs on Tubbоn Hill to warn road users of the junction with Trebost Lane, notwithstanding that the junction is only visible between 75 and 50 metres away for a road user descending the hill and that any vehicles negotiating the acute left turn into Trebost Lane are likely to be almost stationary in the road at some point. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate road warning signage.
