The coroner's concerns
1. substandard road section
“The subsided section of road is seriously substandard and a danger to passing motorists and formed a contributory factor to Mr [name redacted] death. The section of road requires immediate repair.”
2. lack of warning signage
“Appropriate signage needs to be erected to warn of the imminent danger of the road subsidence. The signage needs to be closer to the section of road in question and should include an appropriate advisory speed limit.”
3. dangerous posts at bank foot
“The posts at the foot of the bank constitute a serious danger to vehicles leaving this section of road. An Armco barrier should be erected along this section of the road to provide security to passing motorists.”
