The coroner's concerns
1. restricted view of traffic at junction
“The layout of the junction affords an extremely restricted view of traffic on the A682”
2. solid wall obstructing view
“The solid wall running alongside the A682, contributes to the restricted view of the traffic on the A682”
3. insufficient signage at junction
“The signage on the A682 regarding the junction with the lane down to Knowles cottages is very limited”
4. confusing junction signage
“There is a staggered junction sign where there appears to be a cross roads”
5. speed limit sign visibility issue
“The national speed limit signs placed immediately after the junction are visible in advance of being able to see the junction”
