PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to apply the 40mph speed restriction prior to the bend

Wider context from the report

“(1) The speed restriction up to and through the bend is 60mph but drops to 40mph after the bend. Given the number of incidents on this stretch of road it would appear more appropriate for the reduced speed restriction to apply prior to the bend which was the subject of these inquests. Given the number of incidents in this area, I am concern that to leave the speed restriction at sixty miles per hour leads to circumstances continuing to create a risk of other deaths occurring. In the circumstances, it is my view that the speed restriction of 40mph should be moved so that it is prior to the bend on this stretch of road. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

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

Verbatim wording from the response

“However, the Council will always consider relevant issues relating to road safety as far as it can and the concerns you have identified are in the process of being considered. In short, I can confirm that, subject to the necessary due process for such a matter, the Council intends to take steps to reduce the speed limit on the relevant stretch of road to 40mph. Any changes to the speed limit would also be complimented with additional signing and road markings as appropriate.”
