Driving experts from LeaseVan.co.uk have suggested eight useful new road signs that Secretary of State for Transport Grant Shapps should consider introducing to UK roads. The suggestions highlight common road conditions and problems drivers have to consider day-to-day, including unfair lane merging and areas where pedestrian footfall is particularly high. Here are the eight proposals for new UK road signs:
1. Parked cars creating single lane roads
Many households own multiple cars on streets that werent designed with the parking capacity to cope.Motorists unfamiliar with an area should be warned of this so that they can proceed with caution. | other
2. Merge lanes one by one
Ever encountered a rude motorist trying to nip in and jump the queue or box you out and block your entry when lanes merge. For those light on manners, a sign should be placed before merging lanes to order motorists to be fair. | other
3. Active hours for long term roadworks
Simply letting road users know the working hours of the teams, at sites of significant highways upgrading or problem solving, would allow all to be more understanding. | other
4. Permanently narrow lanes ahead
Some lanes on roads with multiple heading in each direction are barely wide enough for many of the larger cars as well as vans, lorries and buses.Drivers need to be warned so they can take extra care and avoid clipping or confrontations. | other
