PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to implement maximum-speed road signs for the bend

Wider context from the report

“At the inquest ████████ from the Collision Investigation Unit gave evidence. He said that he had been made aware of a couple of incidents at the same location previously. I was also made aware by the family at the inquest of at least 3 or 4 incidents at this same location. ████████ confirmed that he spoke with the Highways Department at Bath and North East Somerset regarding the location of the incident and his findings. He indicated that it was your intention to highlight the need to reduce speed for the bend by adding road signs with a suggestion of a maximum speed for the bend. In addition that you were going to add “slow” painted markings on both approaches to the location of this tragic incident. ████████ confirmed that the day before the inquest he had travelled the road in question and that the changes had not been carried out. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Inadequate speed control at hazardous road locations; Uncontrolled collision risks at hazardous road bends.
