Bit of a cutting remark......
|
it's all part of the plot to further impoverish NW Wales.
on the other hand, if it deters some second home owner all the better
|
|
on a more serious note why is this done to the A55 and not to mortorways?
|
On the main road into Bridgetown I passed three workmen repairing a hole in the road surrounded by five cones.
Nobody died

although I can't actually recall any one being struck by a vehicle
Well I wouldn't fancy it
the following from Highways agency web site
Facts and Figures
1,500 people on motorways and trunk roads were injured in roadworks during the year 2000 in more than 800 accidents. Many other accidents go unreported. (Source: TRL 2000)
11 roadworkers were killed in roadworks on motorways or trunk roads in England between October 2000 and February 2002. This equates to a 1 in 1000. (Source: HSE 2002)
According to research by Dr Stephen Roberts reported in The Lancet, roadworkers have the 16th most hazardous occupation in Great Britain; higher even than for military personnel.

Does it break it down in to how many were killed or injured in accidents not involving being struck by passing vehicles not working on the site. ?
Those figures will include the pick that some hole digger put through his foot or the bloke who falls in to the hole.
