The coroner's concerns
1. shadow across Mayow Rd from obscured street lamp
“The street lamp nearest to the collision site (8m south of De Frene Rd, on the east side of Mayow Rd) was shrouded by tree foliage causing a large shadow across Mayow Rd. This shadow encompassed the site of the collision and the nearby pedestrian crossing point.”
2. faded "SLOW" sign on north bound lane
“There is a painted "SLOW" on the north bound lane near to the collision site. The evidence was that this sign has faded and may not be clearly visible to a motorist.”
3. speed cushion near pedestrian crossing
“There is a speed cushion close to the pedestrian crossing point. The evidence was that a car can straddle this speed cushion without needing to slow down. Also the speed cushion is beginning to break up.”
