The coroner's concerns
1. speed restriction of 60mph before bend
“The speed restriction up to and through the bend is 60mph but drops to 40mph after the bend. Given the number of incidents on this stretch of road it would appear more appropriate for the reduced speed restriction to apply prior to the bend which was the subject of these inquests. Given the number of incidents in this area, | am concern that to leave the speed restriction at sixty miles per hour leads to circumstances continuing to create a risk of other deaths occurring. In the circumstances,”
