Ron/Orrellite?

Just for clarification, in our (and the Courts) book roads and junctions dont cause accidents, drivers and their lack of awareness and appreciation for the surrounding conditions do. In todays blame/claim society its even more imporatnt for us to be on the ball and the junctions in question meet all the relevent design requirements and standards laid down by the DfT. They are regularly inspected, the findings acted on and all records are retained.

Accident rates are closely and continuely monitored throughout the borough, your junctions handle large volumes and are not flagging up anything significant.

I am not going to identify it as it will provoke another `debate` but at this moment in time our #1 blackspot is a straight length of road with a 40 limit and is nowhere near a junction. Despite the amount of signage and other calming measures we have installed some drivers just refuse to appreciate the dangers, and therein lies my point.
