Another T Bone Rta At Meadowhead Junction!

[bassett one]

i dont think its not safe,its more drivers without breaking the law going at 40mph towards that junction and people thinking they have enough time to cross over,lower the speed limit on the dual carrageway?

It would, definitely, appear that the installation of the crossing has increased the incidence of bumps.

Reading this topic through you'd think this was a daily occurrence, but for the  last 8 years I've gone through that junction twice a day, 5 days a week, at rush hour, and never seen any evidence of an accident.

When I saw this topic I thought it was about a T bone steak, and somebody called Rita.

Haven't seen T-bone Rita since she got a bone stuck in her throat at The Swim Inn that afternoon.

If you have a look at post #97 there's a link to the collision statistics for that site.

 

11 injury accidents in 48 months.

 

That placed it at 29th in the prioritised list of  injury accident locations in the city.

There might be a good number that don’t involve injuries, but those are not recorded, so don’t appear on any statistics.

 

Councils everywhere prioritise action at locations which have highest numbers of serious or fatal injuries, because those statistics ( killed and seriously injured) that the government is interested in.

but surely theres going to be more injurys if the numbers keep going up,somthing needs sorting before someone gets killed,prevention before cure comes to mind
