PFD Monitor interpretation

Poor lighting at the foot crossing

Wider context from the report

“Sergeant ████████ the investigating officer from BTP gave evidence to the Inquest and described the foot crossing at Langmeads as horrendous. He said the location of the foot crossing was poorly lit and there was inadequate signage at the site warning pedestrians of the dangers associated with the crossings. My concerns are that individuals wearing headphones or on the phone, who are unaware of the dangers associated with the crossing, may not hear or see the high speed train approaching. This could lead to further fatalities. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate control of pedestrian crossing risks; Inadequate outdoor safety lighting.
