PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to maintain chevron boards in a clean condition

Wider context from the report

“The location is the bend close to the Leese Hill. I am aware of at least one other fatality at the site. There is a sign for the bend, a slow sign in the road for the bend and chevrons and marker posts at the bend. The police have not expressed any particular concerns about the safety of the bend. I should however be grateful if you could have look at the bend to see if any additional steps would be advisable—such as an illuminated sign or rumble strips. At the time of the collision the chevron boards were in a dirty condition and there may be issues about maintenance here as well. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

PFD Monitor interpretation

Install anti-skid surfacing on the A518 bend near Leese Hill.

Verbatim wording from the response

“Following receipt of your letter, a thorough investigation has taken place at the location in question. These investigations incorporated a site visit and included assessment of the current road layout and the existing signage and road marking arrangement. A similar investigation was undertaken following a fatal road traffic collision that you refer to in your report that took place on the 9th February 2011. Following that investigation, anti-skid surfacing was installed in August 2012. The 2018 SCRIM deficiency survey to determine skid resistance, has highlighted that this section of the A518 where the anti-skid surfacing was installed, is performing positively and is above the investigatory level.”
