The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. temporary traffic lights placed too close to blind bends

    “Action is required to ensure that when temporary traffic lights are placed there is a minimum distance of visibility (line of sight) between approaching drivers and the temporary traffic light heads”
  2. 2. lack of clear police protocol for road works risks

    “Action is required by Surrey Police to formulate a clear policy/protocol for all Officers to follow when they identify a risk created to the public by road works which should include a clear route allow them to locate who is responsible for the placing of the road works if not apologies board is seen/present”
  3. 3. public safety concerns not escalated

    “Action is required by Reigate and Banstead Council to ensure that any calls from members of the public to the Council about serious safety issues relating to the road network are passed directly to those with responsibility to take action”
  4. 4. inadequate staff training on road works safety

    “Action is required by Sutton and East Surrey Water to take steps to ensure all members of staff are fully and properly trained in the safe setting up of road works and the carrying out of effective risk assessments”
