Warning signs on main roads need brighter cues
Mr C R Hohnberg urged clearer warning signs on roads under repair and better lighting. He noted first signs are often unlit and barrier lights get damaged, leaving drivers with little warning. A resolution called for red and green indication on the initial sign, removal of a barrier light, and clearer explanations in motorist instruction booklets. The motion, seconded by Mr Truelove, passed.
