10 Common Road Safety Problems

Modal Group's road safety auditors work takes them across the UK working on various schemes for our clients ranging from a new commercial developments through to checking the safety of road junctions on a new housing estate. In our travels across the country, we have noticed that it is often the same issues that come to the fore repeatedly. Therefore, I thought it relevant to focus on some of these common road safety issues in order to create greater awareness of these reoccurring safety problems.

Modal's Road Safety Audits have identified 10 Common Road Safety Problems:

• Poorly sited pedestrian crossings
• Poorly designed or non-existent tactile paving at pedestrian crossings
• Obscured signage
• Poorly sited street furniture
• Lack of guard railing
• Inadequate road signage
• Lack of road markings
• Lack of anti-skid
• Poorly sighted traffic signal heads
• Lack of dropped kerbs for pedestrians and wheelchair users
